About the process
How does the selection process work?
Through a public call for nominations in the fall of the year and a review of previous nominations, the Laureate Selection Committee will convene and commence the selection process. Specific committee duties: review nominations received and generate additional prospects if considered necessary; utilize rating criteria to short-list up to five nominations; make recommendations for the top three candidates for induction with those remaining on the short-list to be considered as alternates and/or future inductees.
Final recommendations are presented to the Executive Committee of the JA Board of Directors by the Chair, Business Hall of Fame Committee, for approval. All nominations, discussions and deliberations which take place are confidential.
