OC 50 2009

If Orange County were a high school, this would be its yearbook.

OC 50, starting on page 19, is the Business Journal’s annual profiling of the most influential people here. It includes the county’s key businesspeople plus academics, politicians and others who impact business here.

As always, there are newcomers, including Blizzard Entertainment Inc.’s Michael Morhaime and Rick Warren, a spiritual adviser to executives and presidents.

Our selections admittedly are subjective. But this year’s group includes all the names you’d expect.There actually are 65 members this year, including joint entries. There are 50 or so honorable mentions.
