The 2022 inductees include Mike McCarthy (McCarthy Capital of Omaha), John Sampson (Sampson Construction of Lincoln) and Gloria Thesenvitz (Nova-Tech, Inc. of Grand Island).

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – The NE Chamber and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln announced three new inductees into the Nebraska Business Hall of Fame.

The 2022 inductees include Mike McCarthy (McCarthy Capital of Omaha), John Sampson (Sampson Construction of Lincoln) and Gloria Thesenvitz (Nova-Tech, Inc. of Grand Island).

“Our honorees this year really embody the ingenuity, determination and service to community and neighbor that characterize the Good Life,” said Bryan Slone, NE Chamber president.

The Nebraska Business Hall of Fame honors business leaders whose work has made an impact on the state’s economy, job opportunities and quality of life. The three new members join a group of more than 120 business leaders in the Hall of Fame.

“Celebrating the success of strong, civic-minded members of our business community means celebrating strong communities and decades of growth and good jobs,” Slone said.

Members of the business community, associations and academia nominate the individuals to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. The NE Chamber and UNL College of Business began the program in 1992.

“Our three inductees are leaders in their industries and great examples for our students and other entrepreneurs who want to lead the future of business. Gloria, John and Mike also give back to their communities and the state through advocacy, service and support,” said Kathy Farrell, James Jr. and Susan Stuart Dean of the UNL College of Business.
