BIRMINGHAM BUSINESS HALL OF FAME:

 

The Birmingham Business Hall of Fame Award is given annually to recognize Birmingham business leaders who have exemplified strong leadership or made extraordinary contributions to the Greater Birmingham area. Recipients of this  award are also inducted into the Birmingham Business Hall of Fame.
In recognition of The Birmingham Business Hall of Fame, a wall of honor has been erected at the entrance of The Harbert Center.  This wall is updated each year to include each new class inducted into the Birmingham Business Hall of Fame.
