• Evansville Regional Business Hall of Fame Past Laureates

Harold Calloway

Harold Calloway is a great example of a man achieving great success from humble beginnings through hard work and perseverance. Calloway was raised in rural Mississippi at the height of the Civil Rights Movement where he worked on the family farm. After serving in Vietnam rising to platoon leader, he earned his Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Evansville. He became University of Southern Indiana's first African American administrator. In 1982, he was recruited by State Farm to open an agency in Evansville. He took them up on the offer two years later.

Walter G. Koch

Mr. Koch’s greatest community accomplishment was serving as the leader called on to attract the War Industries to Evansville. This became the largest economic boom in the history of our city and area. It brought Evansville out of the Great Depression with the surge of 20,000 new jobs.
