Who are the most powerful and influential people in Ohio? There are many, to be sure, but who are the men and women who are truly working to make our state great?
In this inaugural feature, we decided to answer that very question. We asked our readers to fill out an online survey, spoke with our partners, reached out to community leaders and did our own research to create the 2022 Ohio 500.
But this feature is more than a list of people—it’s a look at what leadership means in the state of Ohio. In addition to the list, we have stories that profile influential Ohioans, describe our state’s business history and delve into what’s happening in Ohio’s business’ community today. Ohio is a state that is looking to grow, and these are the leaders that are helping to make that happen.
The Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges is honored to have eight trustees included in the esteemed list:
Jim Carulas, Meaden & Moore, Cleveland
Bob Helmer, Baldwin Wallace University
Rob Huntington, Heidelberg University
Alan Miciak, John Carroll University
Bill Spiker, OFIC
Taylor Oswald, Eddie Taylor

Carmen Ambar, Oberlin College
