’10/12′ profiles the 25 most powerful people on the corridor

They have forged some of the most important reforms in government. Launched global businesses with a few dollars in the bank or from the trunk of their car. Built entire communities that others said could not be built. They are recreating what the hurricanes tore down, cultivating friendships among old enemies, turning public education upside down, generating technology that no one else has and recruiting new jobs and newcomers. They are industry leaders. Business people. Public servants. And community activists. They are the 25 most powerful people on the 10/12 corridor, and they’re profiled in the latest issue of 10/12 magazine. And how do we know that? You told us so. 10/12 readers nominated more than 100 people, and a panel of 16 judges who are community leaders in their own right made the final choices. Their selections were made on one simple criterion: The corridor’s most powerful are those who have demonstrated that they have what it takes to make things happen — not just in their own communities, but in the linear city in which we live known as the corridor.
