The Philadelphia Businss Journal recently unveiled its 2016 edition of the Power 76, a guide to the region’s most influential people.

The PBJ’s editorial team, which has about 200 years of combined experience covering business, spent many hours debating and crafting the list, writes Craig Ey, the publication’s Editor-in-Chief.

“We narrowed in on those wielding the most influence, either through their position, their connections or their money,” said Ey. “These are the people with the most impact in shaping the future of Greater Philadelphia.

“Why 76? It’s Philadelphia, of course, where the Spirit of ’76 still influences our daily lives.”

The Power 76 is not a ranking, and individuals are listed in random order.

The following six people represent Montgomery County in the Power 76:

  • John Middleton, Part Owner of the Philadelphia Phillies (Resides in Bryn Mawr)
  • Josh Shapiro, Chairman of Montgomery County Board of Commissioners (Norristown)
  • Bill Glazer, Owner of Keystone Property Group (Conshohocken)
  • Alfred West, CEO of SEI (Oaks)
  • Bob Asher, Co-Chairman of Asher’s Chocolates (Souderton)
  • Doug Yearley, CEO of Toll Brothers (Horsham)
