If you know a business person from Peterborough who should be recognized for their contributions to the community, it’s time to nominate them for the Peterborough Business Hall of Fame.
Nominations for inductees into the 2018 Peterborough Business Hall of Fame are now open until the end of November.
Each year, Junior Achievement chapters across the country recognize people who have demonstrated a life-long commitment to enhance the economic prosperity of their local communities. These are people who are widely respected not only for their business acumen, but also for their vision, leadership, and integrity. They serve as role models both for Junior Achievement students and other young Canadians.
To nominate someone for the 2018 Peterborough Business Hall of Fame, download and complete the nomination form.
Nomination forms must be received no later than 3 p.m. on Thursday, November 30, 2017 at the office of Junior Achievement – Peterborough, Lakeland, Muskoka (270 George Street Courtyard Peterborough, ON K9J 3H1).
You can nominate a business person who is living or one who has passed away. You will be asked to explain why you are nominating the person by providing highlights of their entrepreneurial ventures, information about their involvement with charities or the community and any awards and honours the person has received, and examples of how the person has demonstrated leadership or serves as a role model for others.
