nomination & voting process
The Texas Business Hall of Fame Foundation was created in 1982 by a small group of Texans to focus awareness on the positive achievements made by outstanding business leaders in our State and honor their contributions in both business and community. Anyone can nominate an individual for the Texas Business Hall of Fame. Every year, twenty finalists are selected based on their business impact and the extent to which they have used their success to improve their state, national and global community. Our six inductees are elected on a ballot circulated to all living Texas Business Hall of Fame members.
