CEO has had a great last few weeks!
They were able to attend the 3rd annual CEO Leadership Summit took place this week, hosted at Western Illinois University. More than 100 students representing 9 CEO programs across Illinois attended.
We were greeted on campus by Colonel Rock WIU Live Mascot (aka "Ray") and welcomed by WIU College of Business & Technology Interim Dean Dr. Tara Feld.
✨We learned about "Unlocking Entrepreneurial Magic" with Keynote Speaker Chris Egelston, and turning "Handshakes Into Relationships" with Dr. Jeremy Robinett. Of course, we put those handshakes into practice with networking opportunities! 🤝
🔥A fireside chat featuring Donnie Wilson, Interim Executive Director of Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship, and Alex Eckhardt, owner of Q-Town Kicks and Adams County CEO alum and board member, highlighted the benefits and importance of mentorship.
🤲In the end, Dan Teefey, President of the Tracy Family Foundation, challenged us to "Lead For Good" - reminding us that we all have the capacity to lead and influence those closest to us.
Many thanks to Dr. Honey Zimmerman and Alison Jefferson for this event opportunity!
