WHO'S FAST 2002

"In a world shocked by evil terrorism, what genuinely matters? In a world moved by heart-wrenching heroism, whose contributions count?"

So begins Fast Company's listing of "ordinary people doing extraordinary things."

Categorized as Leaders, Change Agents, Trendsetters, Disrupters and Social Entrepreneurs, the eleven people chosen are not necessarily the richest or most powerful, but are those who "define new standards of excellence."
