Worcester Business Journal began listing the most influential people in the Central Mass. economy in 2013 & then in its 25th anniversary issue in 2014 expanded the effort to include the 25 most impactful people over the past quarter century. The 25-entry list was updated in 2015 & 2016, naming the people who used their power most effectively in those years. In 2018 & for the past two years, WBJ expanded to the Power 50.
