Junior Achievement of Acadiana is pleased to present the 30th annual Business Hall of Fame. This esteemed and storied event honors excellence in business and the leaders that make these businesses so successful. Proceeds benefit Junior Achievement of Acadiana, the non-profit organization that prepares our region's future leaders by teaching them work readiness, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and effectively connects the boardroom to the classroom.

The Business Hall of Fame recognizes the accomplishments of individuals who have made a significant impact in our local free enterprise system, and ultimately, our community. Laureates are recognized for a lifetime of achievement, and business awards are presented to distinguish individuals for the prior year's accomplishments. Award categories include: Friend of Business (The Richard E. Baudouin, Jr. Award), Small Business of the Year, and Large Business of the Year, Business Person of the Year, and Rising Young Business Person of the Year.
