About the Nevada Business Hall of Fame
UNLV's Lee Business School recognizes professionals who have shaped our state's economic trajectory and community fabric by inducting these individuals into the Nevada Business Hall of Fame. Each inductee embodies the spirit of Nevada’s entrepreneurial landscape through their innovative thinking, resilience, dedication, and reverberating impact beyond their respective industries.
Last year's Nevada Business Hall of Fame returned after a seven-year hiatus with inductees Jan Jones Blackhurst, Bill Foley, and Bill Hornbuckle. The evening also included our 2024 Lee Thought Leader, Daniel Lamarre, as part of the event.
