Nominations are being accepted for the 2024 ÌÀÄ·ÊÓƵ Business Leader of the Year award. 

The award, presented by the ÌÀÄ·ÊÓƵ College of Business and Security Management, honors a person who has demonstrated leadership, business acumen, community engagement and educational support at any level.

The annual award is presented at a dinner that students attend and play a major role in planning. This year's event will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at the Westmark Fairbanks Hotel.

Nominations are kept active for three years. Nominators are encouraged to submit a simple form that includes the nominee’s name, contact information, qualifications and community involvement. There is also an option to provide names of additional supporters who can add their letters to the nomination packet. 

A committee of students, faculty members and past recipients will select the 2024 recipient.

The submission deadline is Sunday, March 10, at 11:59 p.m.
