12 to Watch in 2012

It's time for a New Year, and GoLocal's got the 12 who are set to make the biggest impact on the state in the year to come, and what an interesting list it is.

Surveying the halls of the State House to the three-point line at the Dunk, from classrooms to boardrooms, we've got our eye on a dozen fascinating Rhode Islanders (including one ambitious education program) who we think will define the year to come.

A year for young, ambitious women

One of the things that struck us about this year's list is the presence of young, ambitious women--from politics to entrepreneurship, from fashion to commercial design--staking a claim in Rhode Island's year to come. Rough economic times are often the richest for creativity and innovation, and we expect great things from these woman, as well as their male counterparts on our list. 

See who's on the A-List for 2012, and we'll see you in the New Year.
