Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist
Growing a company from concept to industry leader requires a special breed of individual – someone who doesn't believe those who say it can't be done... someone who sees opportunity in every problem... someone who won't take "no" for an answer.
Each year the most successful and innovative entrepreneurs strive for the most prestigious honor in this class: the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
An independent panel of judges selects winners and finalists in several national categories.
