The Lowery Benefits Services and Northwestern Mutual have always been strong believers and supporters of our community.  We see the CEO program as an important investment for the future of our community.  The program will enable students to get a taste of entrepreneurship and experience it within the businesses of our local community.

I am proud to be part of the area business community bringing this transformational program to our high schools.  This is a unique opportunity for several enterprising area students to be out of the traditional school environment, raise their awareness of entrepreneurial opportunities, and allow them to experience starting a new business.  No doubt this will pay dividends to our community in the future.

“Working with the CEO Belleville students has been an energizing and rewarding experience. These are the future business leaders of our region and their drive and entrepreneurial spirit are inspiring to be around. The opportunity to see behind the scenes how a company really works, how cultures are created, and how people should be treated is valuable to any interested student. We are honored to be a part of CEO Belleville and to play a small role in shaping the lives and careers of our most talented local high school seniors.”
