Join us for the 31st Annual Alaska Business Hall of Fame, an event that celebrates the past, present, and future of business in Alaska. In 1987, Junior Achievement began the Alaska Business Hall of Fame to honor outstanding individual leaders of Alaska business. Since then, the Hall of Fame has become one of the state's most prestigious events, inducting new laureates on an annual basis. These individuals are honored for their direct impact toward furthering the success of Alaska business, support for Junior Achievement's mission and programs, and demonstrated commitment to the Alaska economy.

This important event is a fundraiser for Junior Achievement, an organization dedicated to providing economic and entrepreneurial education in Alaska. Since 1973, Junior Achievement has served K-12 students statewide from Utqiagvik to Ketchikan. Junior Achievement serves nearly 14,000 students annually in fifty-five Alaska communities. As demand for the program continues to grow, Junior Achievement partners the business community with educators to prepare young people for a global economy. Through the continued support of corporations and businesses in Alaska, we can continue to reach more students in Alaska.

It is our privilege to invite you to attend the 2018 Alaska Business Hall of Fame, presented by Alaska Business. This year we are honored to induct Thomas Barrett, Alyeska Pipeline Service Company; Robert B. Gillam, McKinley Capital Management; Robert Penney, Real Estate Development and Investor; and a posthumous induction of C.E. "Chuck" Robinson, Alaska...
