About The Business Hall Of Fame
The Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry, in cooperation with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Business, established the Nebraska Business Hall of Fame in 1992 to recognize Nebraska business leaders whose contributions to Nebraska's economy and business environment deserve public recognition.

Each year, nominations are solicited from the statewide business community, professional associations and academic institutions. Honorees are selected for recognition by the NE Chamber and celebrated at its annual Nebraska Business Hall of Fame Banquet.
Criteria
Nominees may be either living or deceased individuals who have contributed to the growth, success and prestige of business in Nebraska.

Eligible nominees may come from large or small businesses, corporations, or any sector of the business community. Individuals who have made significant contributions to the free enterprise system and have been associated with business in Nebraska will be considered.

Honorees are not required to currently hold the position in which they achieved the accomplishments for which they are being recognized.

While current Nebraska residency is not required, the nominee's contributions must have had a meaningful impact on Nebraska's business economy.

Nominations only need to be submitted once. If a nominee is not selected in a given year, their nomination will remain under consideration for future years.
Nominations are due by April 10, 2026.
