Belleville's Got Talent

Come and enjoy an evening full of live, local entertainment by the best talent in Belleville.  The night will be filled with dinner, networking, and supporting inspiring artists.  We will also be kicking off our new Belleville CEO's Artitorium which will eventually be an on-line venue to assist local artists in selling their work of art.  Belleville CEO will have on hand that night pieces of local art to purchase through a silent auction.  

 Belleville's Got Talent tickets are now available. 

Adults:  $25

Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite www.tinyurl.com/bellevilletalent  or by contacting bellevilleceo2018@gmail.com.  

Belleville CEO's purpose is to encourage a close community and to inspire the success of individuals and businesses.  Although our class consists of high school seniors from Althoff, East and West, we are driven entrepreneurs who see the untapped potential of this city and the people who live here--potential that we wish to bring out in our third annual class business.  Belleville's Got Talent is an experience that will unite the community through what Belleville knows best...ART!  So don't miss a chance to be part of this wonderful event and buy your tickets today!

Mr. Tom Farquhar

On Tuesday, the Belleville CEO class got the chance to speak with Mr. Tom Farquhar. Aside from being an investor of the CEO program, in which we are extremely grateful for, Mr. Farquhar just recently retired from being a manufacturer's representative. Mr. Farquhar shared his experience and what he believes it takes to be a good manufacturer's rep. Benefits such as self-employment, good balance between work and family, and flexible hours come with being a manufacturer's rep. Mr. Farquhar told the class that in business you always want to have something that gives you an edge and sets you apart. Owning a foundry with his father in his early years gave him the extensive knowledge about the products he sold which allowed him to help the customers if they ever had specific questions or problems.  This made him a more valuable employee. The CEO class is so grateful for the helpful tips which will help to lead us on our entrepreneurial journey. Thank you Mr. Tom Farquhar!
