Last night we welcomed the Class of 2026 CEO group along with their families to conduct our annual orientation event. The goal of orientation is to provide a foundation of the CEO program, it's components, participant expectations and answer questions. The group enjoyed refreshments, including dessert from CEO Alumni KT Bakes Bakery. Kaylee Down, the 2025 winner of the Great Expectations Award, provided information from the student perspective and helped field questions.

The Class of 2026 marks the tenth year of Jefferson County CEO. We look forward to embarking on this milestone year with such a great group of future entrepreneurs.

Thank you to Talia Campbell for donating the use of her beautiful event venue A Walk in the Wind to host our orientation!
