I am proud to be a part of the Belleville CEO program as a member of the board and being part of an investor organization. This program provides students with a wonderful opportunity to learn leadership, communication, and organization skills from a wide variety of business owners and professionals from throughout the community. Mrs. Siebers does a fantastic job and is dedicated to making sure these students gain the skills necessary to succeed. I am amazed by these very talented students.

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.
