πŸŽ‰ A Fabulous First Day for Union County CEO Class of 2027! πŸŽ‰

Bright and early at 7:15 AM, 15 talented young men and women officially kicked off their CEO journey at Grassy Lake Hunting Club β€” our traditional first home base of the year! πŸŒ…

A special thank-you to owner Collin Cain, who β€” alongside his father, the late Gerald Cain β€” helped launch this program 12 years ago and continues to generously invest in it, and in our students, today. πŸ™

The morning kicked off with a fun cereal bar πŸ₯£, where students swapped breakfast favorites like Lucky Charms and Honey Nut Cheerios (turns out a few of them had the same box in mind! πŸ˜„). From there, we moved into introductions with Collin, discussed expectations, and talked about what a privilege it is to be part of this program. We wrapped up with a hands-on teambuilding activity 🀝, organizing our class resources for the year ahead.

One especially meaningful moment: reading through heartfelt (and a little funny πŸ˜‚) advice from last year’s Class of 2026 β€” the perfect way to welcome this new group of young professionals into the CEO family.

Here’s to an incredible year ahead! We can’t wait for you to follow along as our Class of 2027 learns, grows, and builds. πŸš€βœ¨
