About the Northeast Ohio Business Hall of Fame
Each year since the introduction, a blue ribbon committee made up of business and civic leaders in Northeast Ohio selects a small class to induct into the Hall of Fame. These honorees have been the men and women who have created Northeast Ohio’s industries and shaped the area’s economic landscape.
The event is more than a celebration for the induction class of 2016, it is an event focused on recognizing business leadership and success at the highest level. All active Hall of Fame members will be invited back to network and welcome the new class of inductees into this prestigious group.
The evening event will take place Nov. 2, at the InterContinental Hotel in Cleveland starting at 5 p.m. To learn more and register, visit http://clevelandmagazine.com/events/business-hall-of-fame
