The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship, which is part of Florida State University’s College of Business, is proud to announce that the organization was selected as a finalist for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year Awards for 2018. The Jim Moran Institute was recognized as a finalist in the nonprofit category at an awards breakfast on May 4, 2018 at the Downtown Event Center at First Baptist Church in Fort Lauderdale.
“We were honored to be recognized among such an amazing group of business owners, entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders,” said Jennifer Kovach, director of the Jim Moran Institute’s South Florida Operations. “I want to give special thanks to the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber for continually supporting and shining a spotlight on the achievements of local businesses.”

About the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship
The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship cultivates, trains and inspires entrepreneurial leaders through world-class executive education, applied training, public recognition and leading-edge research.
Jim Moran was an automotive pioneer and an entrepreneur at heart, who at the age of seven, sold soda pop at sandlot baseball diamonds in Chicago. With a career that spanned more than six decades, he built an amazing chronicle of achievements in the automobile industry.
His vision for the Jim Moran Institute was to provide opportunities that would help others become more successful business owners. A 1995 contribution from Jim and Jan Moran and JM Family Enterprises established the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship at the Florida State University College of Business. Since 2011, further enhancements to the Jim Moran Institute and its outreach have been made possible by Jan Moran and The Jim Moran Foundation.
