Worcester Business Journal began listing the most influential people in the Central Massachusetts 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. Starting in 2018, this effort has been expanded into the Power 50, showcasing how power is currently shared and used in the region’s business community.
