Celebrate Leadership. Invest in What’s Next.

Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans invites you to join us for the 2026 JA Business Hall of Fame on Thursday, June 4 at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.

This year, we are proud to honor an exceptional class of leaders whose impact continues to shape our region, including Benjamin G. Bordelon, Dr. Rebekah Gee, A. Thomas Leonhard, Jr., Aulston G. Taylor, and Clark A. Todd. We will also recognize Ronald V. Burns, Sr. as our Lifetime Achievement Honoree and celebrate Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers as Business of the Year.

More than a celebration, the Hall of Fame fuels Junior Achievement’s work preparing young people for success through financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship. As we expand programs like JA BizTown and our Future Ready work, your support helps ensure that thousands of students across Southeast Louisiana and South Mississippi have access to these life-changing experiences.

Tables, tickets, and sponsorships are now available. Host clients, support friends and colleagues being honored, and align your organization with a mission focused on economic mobility and workforce development.

Join us in celebrating those shaping our world today while helping build those who will shape tomorrow.
