 The
Land of Lincoln CEO Program is thrilled to host the eighth annual
STUDENT-OWNED Business Trade Show on Wednesday April 26th at the
American Legion in Lincoln. A short ribbon cutting ceremony will
begin at 4:00 p.m. with the event following from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
The Land of Lincoln CEO Tradeshow will showcase seven new
student-owned and operated businesses opening in Logan County. This
free event is the finale to the program. The program is a one-year
program featuring high school students with an entrepreneurial
spirit. Class begins daily at 7:00 a.m. and concludes at 8:30 a.m.
The Land of Lincoln CEO Program class is comprised of students from
high schools throughout Logan County and funded through generous
individual donations and support from local businesses. Lisa
Kuhlman, facilitator and small business owner herself, champions the
cause.
Beginning in 2015, this program allowed high school students from
Logan County to join the business community to acquire business
skills and knowledge through both hands-on and classroom
experiences.

The students were provided access
to a variety of business owners and experts in their field
through guest speaking events, field trips, and a robust
mentorship partner program. As a bonus, the students also earn
college credit from Heartland Community College for their
participation in the program.
On April 26th, the students will showcase their
company and be available to answer questions about their products
and services as well as their experience in the CEO Program. The
public can support the student businesses by making purchases right
at the event!

Program participants. Please join us for the excitement and help us
