The WilmingtonBiz 100 is an annual Greater Wilmington Business Journal initiative to recognize the top 100 Power Players, Influencers, Innovators, Connectors and Rising Stars impacting Southeastern North Carolina’s business landscape.
 
Those included in this year’s group were announced in October, but on the following pages you can read a little more about why they were picked.
 
Readers sent in names to consider during a nomination process, and the Business Journal’s editorial team selected the WilmingtonBiz 100. We’ll do nominations again next year for the annual issue.
 
To be considered, individuals had to either work or live in the region. Elected officials aren’t considered for the list.
