The Orange County Register is preparing its annual list of the Most Influential People in Orange County, and we could use your suggestions once again. We are looking to recognize 125 people who made a difference in our county of 3.2 million people in 2024, and we need your help.

Who are the people who do important things outside of the spotlight? Let us know about the kids who help their community, the first responders, the educators and the volunteers who might not get attention most of the year but deserve some now.

And, of course, we’ll include some of the people everyone knows. World Series MVP Freddie Freeman went to El Modena High in Orange, after all, and there’s a pretty good chance he’ll make the cut.

Please nominate someone who has done something exceptional in 2024 using the form in this link. We’re looking for people who live or work in Orange County and truly made a difference this year.

The deadline for your nominations is Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 5 p.m.

Thank you.

By the way, here’s a look at our selections from the past several years:
