Our theme, Among the Stars: Individual Excellence. Collective Impact., reflects the remarkable accomplishments of each inductee and the influence they have had on the First Coast community. As Event & Selection Committee Chair, I am honored to help recognize these exceptional leaders and welcome them into the Hall of Fame.
Proceeds from the event support the Florida Council on Economic Education’s mission to provide free economic and financial education programs for K–12 students and teachers across Florida.
Thank you for your continued support. I hope you will join us on December 1 as we celebrate the Class of 2026 and the leaders who continue to make the First Coast shine.
Warm regards,

In 1999, the FCEE created the First Coast Business Hall of Fame to recognize exceptional individuals who’ve distinguished themselves through their contributions to the First Coast community. The honor is reserved for leaders who’ve made significant impacts through their business and civic achievements and by serving as lifelong examples of integrity and high ideals. Members of the Hall of Fame are inspirations to young people who will follow in their footsteps.
Proceeds from the Hall of Fame support economic, financial literacy and entrepreneurship education programs in the First Coast and throughout Florida.
Established by statewide business leaders in 1975, the FCEE provides teacher training programs, curricula, student competitions and other educational resources free-of- charge to thousands of teachers each year throughout the state’s K-12 system.
By investing in the economic and financial know how of our children, the First Coast business community has a tremendous influence in developing the informed and responsible leaders of tomorrow.
