From rising stars and agents of change to industry titans, creative geniuses, sports leaders, and celebrities, Twin Cities Business has identified 200 Minnesotans to know about and, if possible, get to know.

All of the individuals included among TCB's “200 Minnesotans You Should Know” are uniquely interesting, intelligent, and accomplished. They are influential not only because of the positions they hold and challenges they are overcoming, but because of the networks they connect with and support.

The story profiles a diverse group of individuals who call Minnesota home-from chief executives of Fortune 500 companies to athletes like Lindsey Vonn, and nonprofit leaders like Kaywin Feldman of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to the folks behind some of the state's top restaurants, like Isaac Becker of the 112 Eatery and Bar La Grassa.

The “200 Minnesotans You Should Know” feature story is included in the December issue of TCB, which is available at select newsstands.

The recent roundup of notable locals marks the second installment of the “200 Minnesotans” feature-the first ran in TCB's April 2010 issue and can be accessed here.
