Monterey Bay Business Hall of Fame
Supporting Junior Achievement’s programs on the Central Coast
An annual induction ceremony honoring outstanding Monterey Bay entrepreneurs, business professionals and community leaders who have made a significant contribution to the economic and social development of the Central Coast. Through business excellence, innovative leadership and community involvement, these exceptional honorees serve as role models to their peers and to the next generation of business leaders – our Junior Achievement students.
