The Bloch School at UMKC, through its Council for Entrepreneurship and
Innovation,
has celebrated international and local entrepreneurship since 1985
through its annual Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Dinner. This
event celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit by honoring continued
achievements in innovative, creative accomplishments.

The 22nd annual dinner honored Kate
and Andy Spade as International Entrepreneurs of the Year, L.
William Zahner as regional entrepreneur, and the Byron G.
Thompson Family for their service to the community.
Each year the
Council also honors a
Student Entrepreneur of the Year,
presenting a
$2,000 Entrepreneurial Award to an upper division (junior or
senior) or graduate student for significant entrepreneurial
achievement.
