In a media release, JA-NEO President and CEO John McNutt called the inductees “exceptional business leaders who have strengthened the local economy and their community through their extraordinary accomplishments.”
“They truly are exemplary individuals, widely respected for their integrity, business acumen, and community contributions, and they are inspiration to us all,” he added.
McNutt noted that proceeds raised from the induction ceremony will help the organization meet the growing demand for its financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship educational programs for students.
