In an excerpt in the From the Editor section, by Michael Gossie, Editor in Chief:  “The leaders you will see profiled in the pages of this magazine were selected from a pool of 5000 of the most innovative entrepreneurs and the best and brightest Arizona business leaders in healthcare, real estate, construction, education, banking, financials services, and law. Over the course of more than two dozen meetings, that list of 5000 leaders under consideration was paired down to about 500 names, which the selection panel considered to be the most influential leaders in their industries, broken down into categories.” Added Mr. Gossie, “And never were leaders more tested than they were through the pandemic of 2020.”
