On August 29, 2025, the Daviess County CEO Cohort had the privilege of spending quality time with their mentors in personalized team bonding sessions designed to strengthen relationships.
These dedicated mentors take the time to truly get to know each individual cohort member, understanding their unique strengths, challenges, and entrepreneurial aspirations. Through small group interactions, they created meaningful connections that will serve as foundations for ongoing support throughout the program.
The mentors serving the Daviess County CEO program represent a wealth of experience, wisdom, and business from across the community. Their willingness to invest their time and expertise in the next generation of entrepreneurs demonstrates their commitment to economic development and youth empowerment in the region.
The guidance and advice these mentors provide extends far beyond textbook knowledge. They offer real-world insights, share lessons learned from their own business journeys, and provide the kind of practical wisdom that can only come from years of hands-on experience in the marketplace.
Special thanks go to Wes Richardson for leading the team bonding activities that helped break the ice and create comfortable connections between mentors and cohort members. Additionally, we extend gratitude to Lauren Milton, Board member, for organizing the mentor program and helping coordinate this successful morning. Her dedication to connecting mentors with cohort members ensures that these vital relationships can flourish and provide maximum benefit to the young entrepreneurs.
These mentor sessions are more than just educational meetings—they represent the beginning of relationships that often continue long after the CEO program concludes. The personal connections formed during these interactions create networks of support that benefit both the young entrepreneurs and the broader business community. We are excited for the approaching date of Sept 18 when we will have Mentor Speed dating to help in the pairing of Mentor to Men-tee connections.
The Daviess County CEO Cohort extends heartfelt gratitude to all the mentors who generously share their time, knowledge, and encouragement. Your guidance is not just valuable—it's vital to shaping the future business leaders of our community. Thank you for believing in these young entrepreneurs and investing in their success.
