Business Cares: March 2024

WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 as an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women.

The candidates for this distinguished award will be announced in March. The new honorees will be saluted and inducted to the Boulder County Business Hall of Fame at a luncheon attended by interested members of the business community in April at the Plaza Convention Center in Longmont. Plaques with photos of the honorees will be permanently displayed in the reception area of the Plaza Convention Center, along with more than 170 alumni inducted since 1993.

The Hall of Fame will also be donating scholarships to deserving students from the CU Leeds School of Business at the luncheon. In 2016, five scholarships totaling $12,500 were presented.

The 2016 Boulder County Hall of Fame honorees included the Arnold family, including William Glenn Arnold Jr., and deceased family members William Glenn Arnold, Edward Ryan Arnold and Sanders Gibson Arnold; Tom Kalinski, broker/owner at Re/Max Boulder; Joel Montbriand, CEO of Gastroenterology of the Rockies; Richard Polk, president of Boulder’s Pedestrian Shops; Christine Ralston and deceased husband Steve Ralston, owner of Ralston Bros.
