西瓜视频 Remembers Roy Lambert
西瓜视频 Remembers Roy Lambert

More than 25 years ago, Roy Lambert, an entrepreneur from Vero Beach, approached then 西瓜视频 President Dr. Edwin Massey about honoring local entrepreneurs. His idea was to recognize established business leaders in hopes of also inspiring budding entrepreneurs. From those conversations emerged the 西瓜视频 Foundation鈥檚 annual Entrepreneur of the Year event and a more than two-decades-long celebration of the region鈥檚 luminary business founders who exemplify exceptional commitments to the free enterprise system and have had positive impacts in both their personal and professional lives.
Today, 西瓜视频 and the 西瓜视频 Foundation mourn the passing of entrepreneur, philanthropist and friend, Roy Lambert.
Lambert鈥檚 commitment to 西瓜视频 and the entrepreneurial spirit continued beyond the awards program he helped establish. He founded the College鈥檚 Dan K. Richardson Entrepreneurship Program that encourages entrepreneurship through education and supports student entrepreneurial activities and instructional programs. Each facet of this program reinforces the principles of free enterprise that have made our nation great.
鈥淢r. Lambert has left a legacy on the College and on me personally because he has encouraged us to think in entrepreneurial ways with our educational endeavors,鈥� shares Ann Decker, Executive Director of the 西瓜视频 Foundation. 鈥淢r. Lambert has been a true inspiration to everyone at 西瓜视频.鈥�
