The Dayton Business Journal has named its list of the Top 12 Most Influential People of 2012 in the Dayton Region.
This is a list of the people who have had an impact on the Dayton region through their efforts — both publicly and behind the scenes — during the past year.
The people on this list were selected by the DBJ editorial board.
