Medallion for Entrepreneurship
 The Entrepreneurship Medallion is awarded to outstanding individuals who combine innovative business achievement with service to humanity. The accomplishments of the individuals may be domestic or worldwide but must be consistent with the ideals of Beta Gamma Sigma. The BGS Medallion for Entrepreneurship was established to provide appropriate recognition to those individuals and firms who contribute significantly to the vitality and strength of the economy, combining innovative business achievement with service to humanity.
Beta Gamma Sigma chapters are eligible to nominate individuals for this award based on the following criteria:
- Combination of innovative business with service to humanity;
- Success in overcoming risk in new venture development;
- Degree of innovation in risk taking;
- Adaptation to new market and competitive environments;
- Successful accomplishment of the above during the past 5-10 years;
- Promise of additional achievements during years to come; and
- The nominee shall have been a model of ethical business leadership in his or her career and have exemplified the highest honor and integrity consistent with the ideals of Beta Gamma Sigma.
BGS Deans, Faculty Advisors and members of the Board of Governors are invited to nominate persons for this award. Nomination forms are distributed by the Central Office each summer with an early fall deadline for receipt of nominations. Recipients are announced to the Society during the International Honoree Luncheon at the Annual Meeting of AACSB International each spring. Actual presentations to the recipients are held locally to maximize the exposure for both the chapter and the entrepreneur in their local communities.
