A Hall of Fame celebrates individuals who have distinguished themselves and deserve emulation. 

In 2004 the NYS SBDC celebrated 20 years of helping New York’s small business entrepreneurs. Part of the celebration included the formation of the Hall of Fame.

Over the last 22 years, SBDC Business Advisers and Directors have met hundreds of clients with inspiring stories that include overcoming financial distress, personal and family issues, and a host of other barriers to achieve success.  The individuals selected for the SBDC Hall of Fame are among the most outstanding clients assisted by the program since 1984.  Their selection is the result of a process that involved elements of the entire organization.
