Entrepreneur Hall of Fame is CONNECT's highest honor. The Hall of Fame recognizes community leaders who have achieved distinction in founding, leading or building a San Diego life sciences or technology based business organization and have contributed to our region individually and through their organizations to build and shape our local economy and significantly improve our quality of life.

"The CONNECT Hall of Fame is a significant honor, as it recognizes the elite group of individuals who led the transformation of our local economy"
