The Sam M. Walton College of Business established the first ever Arkansas Business Hall of Fame recognizing Arkansans - by birth or by choice - who have been successful business leaders. The Arkansas Business Hall of Fame is designed to honor, preserve and perpetuate the names and outstanding accomplishments of business leaders who have brought lasting fame to Arkansas. 

Please mark your calendars for the 2014 induction event, which will be held Friday, February 7, 2014, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.  We hope to see you there!
