OUR ultimate power list of our state’s most influential people is getting to the pointy end — and as we unveil numbers 21-40, we think some of the political and business leaders in today’s instalment will be secretly outraged they didn’t make the top 20.
Every day this week we’ve been rolling out our list of South Australia’s 100 Most Influential People — stay tuned for the top 20 on Friday.
As you can see from today’s names, it’s not just heavy hitters from the top end of town — the list includes leading names from the worlds of education, food, wine, sport, tourism, media and the arts.
Selected by a panel of leaders from the Advertiser newsroom, the top 100 have either had a significant impact in the past year or are likely to do so in 2018 — and have done something differently that is having a real impact on our community, beyond just holding a powerful or influential position.
After the full list is revealed we will open a discussion with our readers on the top 100 and whether you agree with our selections.
You can catch up on the prior instalments here:
PART 1: South Australia’s 100 Most Influential People, 81-100
PART 2: South Australia’s 100 Most Influential People, 61-80
PART 3: South Australia’s 100 Most Influential People, 41-60
