2025 Business and Industry Salute

Each year the Business & Industry Salute Luncheon salutes and recognizes civic leaders and businesses that help make the community a great place to live.

Each year, Carnival salutes an individual who has made an enormous impact on the Mid-South through not only their business success, but also through their charitable and community endeavors.  The Cook Halle Award is appropriately named for Carnival Memphis’ visionary founders, Everett R. Cook and A. Arthur Halle.
