LONGMONT ? The Boulder County Business Hall of Fame has started its search for the class of 2007.
The organization is accepting nominations of people in the business community who exemplify business, cultural and philanthropic initiatives that serve as the foundation of the communities that make up Boulder County.

The induction ceremony for the class of 2007 will be Thursday, May 3, at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center in Longmont, the new home of the hall of fame. The hall previously was housed at the Millennium Harvest House in Boulder.

Vicki Trumbo, president of the hall?s board of directors states, ?The board feels passionately about this opportunity to recognize the extraordinary contributions of the business leaders throughout Boulder County who truly make this such a special place to live and work.?

In addition, the hall of fame awards a scholarship each year to two deserving students attending the University of Colorado?s Leeds School of Business.
