For 2020, the Mainebiz Business Leaders of the Year are individuals who have helped shape the state's economic vitality over the past 12 months — sometimes much longer — and who undoubtedly will continue to shape Maine's vitality in challenging months to come. Drawn from both the commercial and nonprofit sectors, these four leaders will inspire you with their stories of perseverance, dedication and ultimate success over difficult obstacles. Mainebiz salutes our remarkable honorees, and we are proud to share their stories.
