Dr. Robert Shackleford

Randolph Community College President Robert S. Shackleford was honored as one of the “Most Influential People in the Triad” by the Triad Business Journal this week.

“Each year we recognize leaders in the Triad who not only help their organizations succeed, they help the Triad region thrive,” said Ollie Chandhok, market president and publisher of the Journal, in his congratulatory letter. “The Triad Business Journals’ Most Influential People in the Triad is one of the most important groups of leaders we recognize all year.”

Those chosen were honored at a private reception on Oct. 27. This is the 13th edition of the Triad’s Most Influential People section; the first year highlighted 50 people, focusing narrowly on business leaders. According to the publication, the list has grown over the years to include other leaders “whose decisions and actions hold serious implications for the region’s economic viability.” This year’s list includes 97 leaders.
