The 2024 Biz 100 List

Every year, Biz 417 creates a list of the most powerful business people in 417-land. They are the men and women who influence the future of southwest Missouri, through their businesses and their leadership.

Right now, our editorial team is hard at work putting together a feature that celebrates this impressive group of individuals. In the November/December edition of Biz 417, you’ll get to read about what makes each of them stand out—and what waves they’ve made in the past year.

That edition lands in subscribers’ mailboxes starting on October 30. We won’t keep you waiting that long to find out who made the list, though. See the list below for a preview.

We are keeping one element a surprise, though: Our 2024 Person of the Year. Check the print edition to find who we picked.

Join us as we raise a glass to this year’s Biz 100 honorees.
