The Junior Achievement West Michigan Business Hall of Fame was created to honor prominent business leaders who have made extraordinary contributions to West Michigan, earned the respect of the local community, and called attention fo the free enterprise system and its value to our community.  

The 2008 Junior Achievement West Michigan Business Hall of Fame will be held on Thursday May 29, 2008 at the Amway Grand Plaza's Ambassador Ballroom. 

The West Michigan Business Hall of Fame also recognizes achievement through the Edward J. Frey Distinguished Achievement Award.  This distinguished honor celebrates individuals who serve our community in educational, philanthropic, religious, social service, arts, science and/or professional arenas, making significant contributions to the quality of life and the business climate in West Michigan.

Congratulations to Peter M. Wege, Chairman of the Wege Foundation.
