Arkansas Business Presents 2014’s ‘The New Influentials: 20 In Their 20s’

2 min read

Since 2009 Arkansas Business has sought out talented young leaders in our business and nonprofit community to introduce in a feature called The New Influentials: 20 in Their 20s.

We invite nominations for this honor, but we make the selections internally. I have mixed feelings about being part of the selection committee: I always feel good about the individuals we choose, and I feel good about the process we use because I know we are looking for the right things. Yet I always have a nagging feeling that others who were equally or even more deserving somehow slipped through.

The New Influentials may seem a lot like our 40 Under 40 feature, and it’s possible that you will see some of these faces in those ranks in the future. But we’ve long recognized that the younger nominees for 40 Under 40 rarely make the final cut because they are mixed in with a much larger crowd of people who have had an extra decade in which to make their marks. I expect that some of these names and faces will be household names for Arkansas Business readers 20 or 30 years from now.

We’re proud to introduce these 20 New Influentials and to consider all the potential they offer our state in the decades to come.
