Influencers make their marks in Orange County in myriad ways. Some we all know because of the public nature of their roles, whether it’s running a major university or, well, being Mike Trout. Others accomplish so much outside of the spotlight, but they deserve recognition, too. And it’s our challenge to compile the list of Orange County’s 100 Most Influential People for 2019, a task that’s especially difficult because there are so many people we have to leave off to reach that nice, round number.
