-
to have demonstrated in his or her business career entrepreneurial spirit,
-
to have a record of outstanding entrepreneurial achievements and,
-
to have demonstrated effective leadership, not only within his or her own organization but in the community, and;
-
to be considered a role model for future generations of entrepreneurs and business leaders, as well as others in business.
