Today, members of the Jackson CEO Program had the privilege of sharing with the amazing young ladies of Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois Troop 8135!

💡 Kyla, Josie, Annalynn, and Taylor did an exceptional job teaching our “mini entrepreneurs” what entrepreneurship is all about — creativity, confidence, and problem-solving.

The Girl Scouts participated in a fun Shark Tank-style activity, where they:
✅ Created a product people need
✅ Developed an elevator pitch
✅ Presented why we should invest in their idea

These young leaders showed BIG imagination and bold ideas! 👏🏾👏🏾

We’re excited to see what their futures hold — because the next generation of innovators and leaders is rising right here in Southern Illinois! 🚀
