 ‘CEO’ stands for Creating Entrepreneurial
Opportunities and is a year-long, experimental learning-based
course, designed to utilize partnerships in our community to provide
our young people an overview of business processes and development.
Throughout the program year, students will visit local businesses,
learn from guest speakers, participate in operating a class
business, write a business plan, and, from concept to reality, build
their own legal, functioning entity.
Thirteen area high school juniors and seniors are
members of the class and have been matched with area entrepreneurs
and business experts from the Lincoln and Logan County area.
Mentors include: John Radloff of Graue, Inc.; Brad Nikles of Nikles
of Petersburg; Roni Shelton of Roni B Photography; Rachael Judd of
Small Town Social; Nicole Cox of Yours Truly Bakery; Patrick Doolin
of Integrity Data, Inc.; Abby Coers of Central Illinois Ag; Lesleigh
Bennett of Bennett & Holland & Barry Funeral Home; Seth Goodman of
ME Realty; Sarah Stuart Faith of Stuart Solutions; Matthew Xamis of
Jim Xamis Ford; Kathie Williams of Small Town Creations and Vanessa
Komnick of Blades.
