The Birmingham Post Power 250 is back and we want your help.

A former retail executive has been chosen as the West Midlands' first ever directly elected mayor while Birmingham City Council has seen its leader and chief executive both leave their roles.

This year, we are asking for your help in compiling the list.

Maybe they are a charity campaigner, community leader, business figurehead or politician leading the agenda on major issues affecting the region.
