The Washington Business Hall of Fame is the region’s signature lifetime achievement award that recognizes and honors individuals who have made a lasting and significant impact on the Greater Washington region through the private sector economy, and serve as role models for the next generation of leaders. Their careers and backgrounds are as broad and diverse as their accomplishments are far reaching.

The Washington Business Hall of Fame is a black tie gala culminating in the Induction Ceremony during which the Laureates are inducted into the Washington Business Hall of Fame. Since its inception in 1988, close to 200 Laureates have been inducted into Washington Business Hall of Fame. The 2022 event raised $1.375 million to support Junior Achievement's work to prepare the next generation of leaders to be future ready.
