The Entrepreneurs of the Year were celebrated in late June at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, where longtime Junior Achievement member Karolyn Johnson received an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Scholarship.
This year’s Entrepreneurs of the Year for Minnesota and the Dakotas now become candidates for the national Entrepreneur of the Year awards, to be announced in November in Palm Springs, California.
For more information about the conference or the Entrepreneur of the Year program, contact Wendy Fox in Ernst & Young’s Minneapolis office at 612-371-6703.
