LINCOLN
The Land of Lincoln CEO
program is thrilled to host the Third Annual Student-Owned Business
Tradeshow on Wednesday, May 2, 2018 at the American Legion from
4-6pm. The tradeshow will showcase 9 new student owned and operated
businesses opening in Logan County. This free event is the finale to
the Land of Lincoln CEO program; a year - long program that allows
high school students from Logan County the opportunity to enroll in.
The CEO program began in 2015 as a way to allow high school
students, who have the entrepreneurial spirit, to join the business
community with a strong foundation from what they gain in hands on
and educational experience from taking the class.
With the leadership of Jason Mauhar, the students learned more than
just the basics of owning and operating a business. The LLCEO
program is a class that meets daily from 7:00am to 8:30am at
different businesses around Logan County. Students receive credits
for this class as they would other classes they take at their
respective high schools and also college credit from Heartland
Community College. Business owners and experts in specific business
fields have been guest speakers throughout the year. In addition,
the students took many field trips and were assigned mentors to help
guide them along this voyage of turning their ideas and dreams into
a business.

The tradeshow on May 2nd will showcase all student-owned businesses. Each
student will have samples of products and services their business offers.
Students will also be available to answer questions about their businesses and
their experiences in the LLCEO program.
In addition to learning about the new businesses in Logan County, there will be
opportunities to order and purchase products and services from these businesses,
door prizes and refreshments served. There will be a large prize drawn for at
the event and each student will have a raffle from each of their booths.
The Land of Lincoln CEO program is a class that is comprised of students from
different schools in Logan County and paid for by local businesses and
individuals through donations. To find out more information about the LLCEO
program or the tradeshow, please contact Jason Mauhar, class facilitator at
