Rounding out the week: picture day, and our first business visit!
It was a beautiful morning for a professional photo shoot outside. McDonough County CEO Board Chair Holly Spangler joined us on the square with her camera... and while the town was still coming to life, we took advantage of the open space in front of the courthouse. This is just a behind-the-scenes glimpse - more to come!
We capped the first week of CEO with our first business visit at 309 Marketplace & 309 Social. What better way to start the entrepreneurship journey than by checking out a locally-owned business featuring dozens of local entrepreneurs?!
Partner-Owner Jami Minter and Manager Katie Conlin talked about the vision of the business, the vendors, the event space, and more. Their support of local business owners truly embodies the entrepreneurial spirit we want to instill through our new team members in the program this year.
