INDUCTEES<br />
A crowd <strong>of</strong> more than 500 friends, family and community<br />
supporters were on hand at the Albany Marriott to pay<br />
tribute to the Business Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame’s three newest members.<br />
The annual dinner and induction ceremony, presented by<br />
<strong>Junior</strong> <strong>Achievement</strong> and the Center for Economic Growth,<br />
was sponsored by: CG Power Solutions, General Electric,<br />
KeyBank, Massry Realty Partners, and the Times Union.<br />
The Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame crowd welcomed F. Michael Tucker,<br />
President & CEO for CEG who served as Master <strong>of</strong><br />
Ceremonies for the evenings’ activities.<br />
Those in attendance witnessed three area visionaries<br />
and community leaders receive public recognition for<br />
their inspiring business leadership and their exemplary<br />
civic achievements. Entering the Business Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame on<br />
May 4, 2011 was: Daniel J. Hogarty, Jr., former Chairman,<br />

University at Albany – SUNY and posthumously Donald<br />

Services. The induction <strong>of</strong> these three individuals brings<br />
the total number <strong>of</strong> Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame entrants to forty-seven.<br />
Induction into the Tech Valley Business Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame is a<br />
preeminent business award for our region. As such, the<br />
SELECTION CRITERIA<br />
ff<br />
The inductee must be an appropriate<br />
role model for youth.<br />
ff<br />
Business people from large and<br />
small businesses and corporations,<br />
entrepreneurs, pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, educators,<br />
or government <strong>of</strong>ficials—anyone who<br />
has made a significant contribution<br />
to the free enterprise system and has<br />
enhanced the business environment <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Northeastern</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>.<br />
ff<br />
The emphasis will be on contemporary<br />
accomplishments with no more than<br />
two inductees chosen each year.<br />
Posthumous nominations, however, will<br />
receive additional consideration.<br />
ff<br />
The inductees may or may not be<br />
currently holding the position in which<br />
they achieved major success and for<br />
which they are being honored.<br />
ff<br />
The geographic area to be considered<br />
for inductees will be the current<br />
operating area <strong>of</strong> <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>Achievement</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Northeastern</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>.<br />
ff<br />
Anyone who has left the abovementioned<br />
area but has made a<br />
significant contribution while a<br />
resident may also be considered.<br />
honorees chosen to receive the award not only meet<br />
the high standards established for the honor, but will<br />
themselves be a sign <strong>of</strong> the quality <strong>of</strong> the award. The<br />
inductees become part <strong>of</strong> an illustrious group, living and<br />
deceased, who are noted not only for their leadership in<br />
enhancing free enterprise but also for their contributions<br />
to their community.<br />
Since the event was founded by <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Northeastern</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>, Inc., whose prime audience<br />
is youth, the honorees must also be outstanding role<br />
models for the students who learn about the values <strong>of</strong><br />
free enterprise in <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>Achievement</strong>’s in-school and<br />
after-school programs, and youth in general who will be<br />
motivated, inspired and encouraged by the example set by<br />
these “Champions <strong>of</strong> Free Enterprise.”<br />
