Business North Carolina recently released its latest annual Power List, providing detailed information on the state’s most influential business and nonprofit leaders. Carolinas AGC members and staff account for 20+ award recipients on this year’s list, including once again our very own Dave Simpson, CAGC President and CEO, as well as past Board of Directors Chairs Ty Edmondson and Mark Johnnie.
In its magazine detailing the Power List recipients, Business North Carolina says: “As noted annually, North Carolina’s population of 11 million includes many outstanding leaders, making this a small, subjective sampling of those with notable power.”
The Power List is divided into 17 categories, including Real Estate & Construction and Legal, representing a wide range of about 500 industry influencers. While executives at for-profit companies dominate, the list includes many leaders of nonprofit organizations that play key business and civic roles.
