Another year of CEO programming is in the books. 

It's always a bitter-sweet ending says Melanie Brown, Facilitator for the Central Illinois CEO program. She explains from where students start to where they finish is always fun to watch from her perspective.

The success stories of the program Sangamon Valley CEO Facilitator Lisa Sheppard says she had a very unique experience this year where a student very late in the game had to completely change directions.

For Brown, she encouraged one of her students to try something a little more challenging and was proud of the way she took on the challenge.

The two leaders will turn their attention to next year. For the Central Illinois CEO program, they welcome 15 new students while the Sangamon Valley CEO program will have another ten students.
