Jim Dodson honored as 2019 Business Leader of the Year
On April 20, 2019, the School of Management honored Jim Dodson, President and CEO of the Fairbanks Economic Development Corporation, as the 2019 Business Leader of the Year award.
The ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Business Leader of the Year award is given to a deserving recipient based on leadership in the Fairbanks business community, business achievements, community service, and educational support.
The event sold out for the 10th year in a row. Many SOM students worked hard to make the night a success, volunteering their time in order to earn a ticket to the event. They sold tickets, ironed hundreds of chair sashes, worked with vendors, and decorated the venue.
Funds raised through the Business Leader of the Year event support student organizations at SOM. The audience, made up of the Interior community and business leaders, demonstrated enthusiastic support for our students, collectively raising over $50,000 – all of which will go back to the future business leaders of ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ: ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ School of Management students.
