Dear Friends,

For nearly three decades, the Florida Council on Economic Education has proudly recognized the visionary leaders who have shaped the First Coast business community through innovation, leadership, and service.

We are excited to announce that nominations are now open for the 28th Annual First Coast Business Hall of Fame, to be held on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront.

Each year, the First Coast Business Hall of Fame honors exceptional business leaders whose accomplishments have strengthened our region, inspired future generations, and made a lasting impact on the communities they serve.

More than a celebration of leadership, this event supports the Florida Council on Economic Education's mission to prepare Florida's students for lifelong success through high-quality K–12 economic and financial education. Proceeds from the event help us provide free classroom resources, teacher training, and student programs that empower the next generation to make informed financial decisions.

Thank you for your continued support of FCEE and our mission to equip Florida's students with the knowledge and skills they need for a brighter financial future. We look forward to celebrating another outstanding class of honorees with you this November.

Warm regards,

Suzanne Costanza, CFRE
Executive Director
Florida Council on Economic Education
