Being an investor and current board member of Adams County CEO is something I’m genuinely proud of. ❤️
What makes this program so special to me is getting to see firsthand just how much it pours into our next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders.
These students aren’t just learning how to write a business plan or start a business. They’re learning how to communicate, build relationships, adapt when things don’t go as planned, pivot when necessary, and have the confidence to put themselves out there. They’re meeting local business owners, hearing the real stories behind how businesses were built, making connections, and building friendships along the way.
And honestly, watching them grow throughout the program is one of the most rewarding parts.
I’ve had the privilege of mentoring students through CEO, and it’s pretty amazing when those relationships continue beyond the classroom. When a student reaches out months later for business advice, wants to grab lunch, or simply wants to share what they’re working on — that’s when you realize the impact of this program goes far beyond one school year.
I’m incredibly grateful to be a small part of something that invests so much into our young people and our community. I truly believe the lessons and relationships these students gain through CEO will stay with them for a lifetime.
So proud to be part of the Adams County CEO family. ❤️
