We are pleased to present our 2022 Lehigh Valley Business Power 100 List. These are the individuals who shape our communities and influence the quality of life in our region. They are leaders — some quite prominent and well-known – as well as those who are behind-the-scenes change-makers. They operate in all spheres of endeavor: law, finance, education, government, health care, business and nonprofits.
This, our second annual list, was compiled by the editorial staff and leadership team at the Central Penn Business Journal. You’ll find some familiar names from last year’s list plus some newcomers who are leaving their mark. This is not a ranking. There is no score. Our goal with these profiles is to showcase these men and women in a way that offers insights into their accomplishments and reveals something meaningful about who they are and what makes them tick.
We hope you enjoy this special section.
