UNIONDALE, N.Y., June 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marquis Who's Who (MWW), the world's leading biographical publisher, is proud to announce the individuals selected for the first half of 2023's Maker's List by releasing the

75 Emerging Leaders in America list. The Maker's Lists are curated by a selection committee and compiled by MWW Maker's List administrator Lisa Diamond with an aim to recognize both established and emerging leaders in their respective fields.

"The first half of 2023 has been wrought with novel ideologies across varied industries, including the creative arts, medicine, business, science, technology, academia, law, politics, architecture and philanthropy," said Lisa Diamond, administrator of the Maker's List. "Among all these ideas is the ubiquitous notion that humankind must keep moving forward, advancing across time to build upon the world in even grander, more robust ways." Diamond continued, "In this segment of the Maker's List, we endeavor to highlight emerging pioneers of the modern era – trailblazers whose efforts in their industries have not just begun changing America but will continue to shape the professional landscape for years to come."
