“We are proud to celebrate these two widely respected licensing veterans who have dedicated their careers to driving the success of licensing among the broader business community,” said Licensing International President, Maura Regan.
Every year at the Licensing International Excellence Awards Ceremony we take a moment to call out the good works and generosity of the licensing community.
Since 2004, more than $6.7 million has been raised for the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, through advertisements in the Tribute Book and numerous other fundraising activities.
The Licensing Industry Hall of Fame is home to the most esteemed global licensing executives of the last three decades.
These bastions of the industry have shaped our business in ways often too innumerable to count. Every year since 1989, at least one (and sometimes multiple) individuals who have had a unique and lasting impact on the industry join the ranks of licensing’s best and brightest.
We’re sorry, but the submission period for the 2020 Hall of Fame nominations has closed.
