The CEO Program is a collaborative effort between the Athens-Limestone County Chamber of Commerce, Limestone County Economic Development, Athens City Schools, Limestone County Schools, Athens State University, and local businesses, all working together to invest in the next generation of business and community leaders.

Through an immersive, out-of-the-classroom experience, high school juniors and seniors will have the opportunity to:

💡 Explore entrepreneurship and business
🤝 Build relationships with local business leaders
📈 Develop practical business and leadership skills
🏢 Gain real-world experience in our community
🚀 Work toward launching their own real business

Jennifer brings extensive experience in business development, leadership, nonprofit programming, and community engagement to the program. As a former President of the Athens-Limestone County Chamber of Commerce, she understands the importance of connecting young people with the businesses, organizations, and leaders who make our community strong.

We’re excited to see Jennifer help students turn ideas into opportunities and opportunities into the next generation of community leaders.

The future of Athens-Limestone County starts with investing in its future leaders. And we’re excited to be part of that journey. 💙
