Des Moines County CEO is officially underway!

Our 2026–2027 class is off to a great start! In just two days, students have learned about class expectations and procedures, started on their professional bios, met the CEO Board of Directors, gotten professional headshots, and started preparing for their first business visit tomorrow.

We’re excited to watch these young entrepreneurs learn, lead, build connections, and discover what’s possible right here in Des Moines County.

The next generation of leaders is ready to get started! 💼👏
