スターたちへカンザス・ビジネス・アワード

The Kansas Department of Commerce held the 2025 スターたちへカンザス・ビジネス・アワード on October 16th in Pittsburg. To kick off the awards ceremony, emcee Melissa Vincent recognized two Kansans who have been inducted into the Kansas Business Hall of Fame for their significant contributions to economic growth. This year’s contemporary honoree was Marci Penner, a rural champion and author from Inman who is executive director of the Kansas Sampler Foundation. The historical honoree was Emerson Carey, Sr., an entrepreneur and philanthropist from Hutchinson known as a salt manufacturer and industrial leader.

At the end of the awards ceremony, the agency introduced a new award, the Randi Tveitaraas Jack International Business Development Award. It will recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions advancing Kansas in the global economy. The award was named in honor of Randi Tveitaraas Jack, who recently retired from the Kansas Department of Commerce after more than 37 years of outstanding service to the state. The agency recognized James “Jamie” Hall, Vice President of Great Plains Manufacturing in Salina, as the inaugural recipient.
