Who's Who in Chicago Business 2004

Every year, powerful Chicagoans--and their publicists--clamor for a berth in Crain's annual Who's Who in Chicago Business. It's no wonder. If you're in Who's Who, it's a sign you've made it: You're a player, a person who can pick up the phone and make a deal happen, someone whose advice, and financial support, is sought by the city's most important political, civic and business organizations.
