We enjoyed spending Friday with Christian County Youth Leadership for their Business & Industry Day, which introduced students to the opportunities, people, and industries that drive our local economy.
Students listened to a panel of local young leaders, including Luci Wells of Weller Co., Cora Beth Gilliland of The Children's Academy Jake Williams of Edward Jones Financial, and Mary Anne Thalmann of Christian County Cooperative Extension Service. The Chamber led a hands-on Shark Tank activity, giving students a chance to put their ideas into action.
We appreciate the opportunity to connect with the next generation of leaders and help them see the many career and business opportunities right here in Christian County!
