"My Grandparents Got Their Mortgage From World Wide Financial!" Nominations For Entrepreneurs Nominations to honor and rec- ognize Michigan's most suc- cessful and dynamic entrepreneurs are being sought for the Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Ernst & Young and national sponsors Inc. mag- azine and Merrill Lynch have been joined by local sponsors in the search for the best entre- preneurs. The Entrepreneur of the Year program, created in 1986 by Ernst & Young, is the coun- try's preeminent program to honor outstanding owners of emerging companies. Awards will be given to entrepreneurs in 41 major markets who have demonstrated excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal com- mitment to their businesses and communities. Individuals who have shown extensive support for entrepreneurial ventures also are eligible. There is no fee for nomina- tions, which must be received by April 8. Self-nominations are encouraged, as are those from suppliers, customers and oth- ers who work with entrepre- neurs. A panel of independent judges comprised of leaders from Michigan's business, aca- demic and civic organizations will evaluate the state's nomi- nations and select the award re- cipients. On June 16, an awards banquet will be held at the Ritz- Carlton Dearborn to announce the Michigan award recipients. Last year, nine entrepreneurs from Michigan were selected as Entrepreneur of the Year award recipients from more than 155 nominations. The Michigan award recipi- ents are eligible to become the National Entrepreneur of the Year. A national judging panel will select from all of the re- gional candidates the finalists and award recipients for six na- tional awards and the Entre- preneur of the Year award. Finalists and the national Entrepreneur of the Year will be announced at a black-tie banquet in Palm Springs, Calif.
