Alabama State University President Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr. has again been named to an online magazine's list as being among the state's important "shakers and movers." Alabama Today's June issue lists Ross as one of the "32 Powerful and Influential Alabamians to Know."
The magazine lists a diverse selection of leaders representing various occupations and spheres of influence. The publication’s founder, Apryl Marie Fogel, described Ross as a leader who can "create change, start a conversation, influence the public or public officials, move an agenda forward or stop one in its tracks."
Fogel says "Alabama Today offers 32...movers and shakers with power and influence in the state’s political world...some of them are the bosses, mentors, elder statesman, and wise counsel."
Among the 32 on the list with Dr. Ross are Mark Crosswhite (Alabama Power CEO), Stephanie Bryan (Tribal Chair/CEO, Poarch Creek Indians), Jimmy “Yella Fella” Rane (Great Southern Wood Preserving CEO) and former Governor Jim Folsom, Jr.
