Alumni Spotlight: Mo Siegel helped put Boulder County on the national map.

As co-founder of Celestial Seasonings, he helped launch the natural and organic products movement from right here in Boulder. What started as a local tea company became a category-defining brand and an economic engine.

Boulder County was built by more than a few.

The Boulder County Business Hall of Fame honors those who shaped our economy and community. But there are more.

Why Alumni Recognition Matters:

Boulder County Business Hall of Fame's prestigious alumni include leaders whose decisions, values, and long-term commitment helped shape our local business community.

Those stories don’t appear by accident.

Induction into the Hall of Fame is about preserving Boulder County’s business history while the influence of its leaders is still active. It's about recognizing not just success, but sustained impact, stewardship, and community leadership.

Our alumni profiles represent chapters that have already been written. The nomination process helps ensure the next chapters are included.

Today’s nominees are tomorrow’s alumni stories!

If there’s a business leader whose influence deserves to be part of that legacy, this is the moment to raise their name.

👉 Nominations for the Boulder County Business Hall of Fame Class of 2026 are open through March 8th.
