We wish the 2018 graduates class success as they head out to college. And for the incoming class to get ready for a new adventure that awaits them with new discoveries of Effingham County and a better awareness of themselves on this exciting journey ahead. We in the CEO Family wish you a safe and fun summer and look forward to communicating with you again this Fall. Thank you again for all your investment and support in making this program impact the next generation of business leaders.
The attendance at the Trade Show this year was outstanding and even more impressive was the interactions the students had with those looking to buy their products or services.
The goal for business owners is to get to the point where they aren’t chasing down new business every month and having a steady flow of leads, projects going on and recurring or passive income coming in. CEO visited several businesses this week and even heard from guest speakers who drove home this point in leading them to be a successful business.
We look forward to seeing you this year at the CEO Trade Show Tuesday, May 1st at the Keller Convention Center from 5:00 - 7:30 PM. It is a great evening to bring out the whole family to see the creativity and innovation of tomorrow's business leaders and entrepreneurs. The Class of 2018 is anticipating your arrival at their booth to share their products and services with you. This is where you get to see all the hard work and culmination of months in preparation come to life in each booth you visit.

When we are not touring local businesses, we need a place to host the class. During that time, the 0 CEO students and their Facilitator would meet at your site where they would also have guest speakers and guests from the community attend. Hosting requires a facility with internet access and adequately accommodates up to 5 people.
We are looking for people to share real-life stories about the concepts of running a business, from strategic thinking, product development to marketing, and cash flow management. Also, sharing your personal successes and failures are what recent classes have enjoyed the most.
