CEO Program enters its second year

On August 24, five local young people began their journey to becoming entrepreneurs through the McDonough County Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities, or CEO program, now in its second year. In 2010 the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship was founded in Effingham Illinois by educator and filmmaker Craig Lindvahl to support the expansion and growth of the Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) program for high school students. Today, the program can be found in fifty-six counties across six states.
