Investor Testimonials
Entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of any community because of the new businesses, jobs, and economic opportunities they create for that community. And since Belleville needs new businesses, Belleville needs new entrepreneurs. That is why the Belleville CEO Program is so very important. Its purpose is to give high school students a peek at what entrepreneurship is all about—because the more that students understand what entrepreneurship is, the more students will choose to be entrepreneurs. I am excited to be a part of the Belleville CEO Program because it represents the future of what Belleville can be.
“When Jim Allsup and Roger Lowery first introduced the idea of expanding the CEO program to the Belleville area, I knew this was going to be a very special opportunity for our high school seniors. It is a difficult task to choose a career path when you have never been exposed to all the possibilities. This program allows students to meet and share the experiences of our local business and community leaders. This program not only gives students a head start in planning their future, it has the potential for changing it.”
