Land of Lincoln CEO Presents: A Morning with Young Entrepreneurs
Public invited with RSVP by January 11th

 

[January 07, 2023] 

The Land of Lincoln CEO program will host “A Morning with Young Entrepreneurs” at The Lincoln Elks on Thursday, January 12th at 7:30 am. This event offers an opportunity to hear first-hand how the CEO program is impacting area students and local businesses.

Slated speakers include Austin Brooks, Executive Director of Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship, Felipe Buenrostro (CEO class of 2018) and Faith Sanders (CEO class of 2022). Current students, alumni, mentors, board members, and program investors will be in attendance and available to answer questions.


“After nearly every business visit, the owner turns to me and says, ‘I wish I would have had this class when I was in high school!’ I hope everyone who has wondered about the CEO program will attend this event. CEO is a learning experience unlike any other, and it benefits both the students and the community,” said Lisa Kuhlman, facilitator for the class.


CEO (“Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities”) is a year-long, experiential learning-based course, designed to utilize partnerships in our community to provide young people an overview of business processes and development. It is offered to all area high school juniors and seniors as a Heartland Community College dual credit class. Throughout the program year, students visit local businesses, learn from guest speakers, operate a class business, write a business plan, and, from concept to reality, build their own legal, functioning business.

The public is invited to attend “A Morning with Young Entrepreneurs” sponsored by Lincoln Economic Advancement & Development (LEAD) and Logan County Professionals Network.

A complimentary breakfast will be provided.

Guests should RSVP by the morning of January 11th by visiting https://www.jotform.com/
