Biz(941) is choosing 20 rising stars and prime movers in the local business world as “People to Watch.” They will be the centerpiece of our September/October issue and will be honored at a special event.

We’re looking for newcomers of note, young talents and established powers with new and exciting initiatives. We invite you to nominate businesspeople—including you—who are making their mark on the region.

Please provide details and anecdotes about why this individual is someone who will impact our local economy—or even national and global markets—with their ideas and enterprises. The judges are looking for individuals whose presence will shape the business community and our quality of life with new products and services, jobs, original ideas and energy.

The deadline to nominate is May 16!

For more information, email Biz(941) editor Susan Burns at [email protected].
