Apple CEO Steve Jobs will among those honored as the “best the information technology (IT) industry has to offer” in a new IT Hall of Fame created by CompTIA (http://www.comptia.org), a non-profit trade association for the IT industry.

“Some of the iconic figures of the American business scene have emerged from the IT industry and the intent of the IT Hall of Fame is to recognize these game-changers,” says Todd Thibodeaux, president and chief executive officer, CompTIA.

The IT Hall of Fame consists of two wings: the IT Channel Wing for individuals who have made outstanding contributions or provided outstanding service to the IT channel; and the IT Innovators Wing, recognizing individuals responsible for outstanding technology innovations. Jobs is in the latter.
