Kristen Conrad
OwnerBoard Member Committees: Investor Recruitment & CareMy name is Kristen Conrad. I serve as the Chair of the Investor Committee. I knew from the minute I heard about CEO that I wanted to be involved. Make Fit Happen, a fitness studio, is my current business and was started in 2010. The Pampered Chef was my first venture as an Independent Consultant and my second venture was a business I created and owned, The Glass Bracelet. Working with these students as a mentor over the past three years has been such a rewarding experience. The growth throughout the school year is amazing to watch. I'm so proud to be a part of the McDonough County CEO Program!
