Four Longtime Alaskans Named to Junior Achievement of Alaska Business Hall of Fame

Anchorage, AK – Four outstanding Alaska business leaders have been tapped to the Alaska Business Hall of Fame. Business peers selected The Brice Family of Brice Constructors, Harry McDonald of Carlile Transportation Company and the Quinn Brothers of Capital Office Systems. Selected for posthumous recognition is Jim Bowles of ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. These business leaders were selected base on their direct impact toward furthering the success of Alaska business, demonstrated support and commitment to Junior Achievement’s programs, and demonstrated commitment to Alaska Business.

The induction ceremony into the Alaska Business Hall of Fame will be held at the Dena’ina Civic & Convention Center on Jan. 27, 2011.
