 The Nebraska Business Hall of Fame was established in 1992 by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the University of Nebraska College of Business Administration to recognize Nebraska business leaders whose contributions to Nebraska’s economy and business environment are deserving of public acclaim.
The annual selection is made from nominations solicited from the general business community, statewide business associations, and from academia.
The criteria includes business people from large and small businesses and corporations who have made a significant contribution to the private enterprise system. Current residency is not required, but the contribution to the business economy must have affected Nebraska.
 To date, the Governor of Nebraska has assisted with the presentation of the awards each year at the Annual Meeting of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry in February. The banquet and awards ceremony is typically attended by the legislative and statehouse leadership, and approximately 600 business leaders from throughout Nebraska. A professionally produced video of each honoree is shown at the banquet.
A permanent display honoring the inductees is now in place at the University of Nebraska College of Business Administration and includes video interviews for current and future business students to enjoy and learn from.
