Recruitment is underway for next year's class of CEO students.

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, Central Illinois CEO Facilitator Melanie Brown told Regional Radio they are actively recruiting for next year's class of students.

According to Brown, there is the perception the program is for that student who wants to be a business owner when they leave high school. She calls the program for that undecided student and has great examples of that student in her group of 13 this year.

The deadline to apply to next year's Central Illinois CEO program is Friday, Feb. 28. Visit centralillinoisceo.com for more information.

Brown reminds the Central Illinois CEO chapter has students from Blue Ridge, Clinton, Maroa-Forsyth, and Warrensburg-Latham.
