Participate in a growing national movement.
When you bring CEO to your community, you join a connected national network. Your program carries the CEO brand, the CEO reputation, and the energy of communities across the country building something great alongside you.
Entrepreneurship is contagious.
CEO creates measurable economic impact. Students begin to see their own community as a place of opportunity, which keeps talent local and strengthens the regional economy. CEO communities have attracted new businesses specifically because of the program, and the relationships it builds between schools and the business community signal the kind of investment that serious companies look for when deciding where to grow.
