Bill Garibay, a 1988 MSU alumnus, was awarded with special recognition the 2008 Hispanic Business Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY), in the Green Company Category, at the Hispanic Business Magazine EOY® Awards Gala on Thursday, November 6th, 2008 in Los Angeles.

Hispanic Business magazine celebrates those who have made significant contributions to the U.S. Hispanic economy and, in turn, have contributed to the Hispanic community at large.  The annual EOY® Awards Gala honors courageous and determined Hispanic entrepreneurs who take the lead in innovation and inspire change. More than 750 leaders, including honorees and alumni of EOY, attended the conference.

The Green Company Category is a new category for the EOY Awards. This special recognition is given to the company that strives to create a better environment while bringing a new consciousness and focus to American business.
