Greetings!
 
Welcome to the first edition of the Coles County Entrepreneurship Class (CCEC) e-blast. Thanks to all the board members, champions and investors who have made this class a reality. If you are receiving this e-blast, you already know that this class is an experiential development class that shows Coles County high school juniors and seniors the opportunities and challenges of starting and running a new venture. In turn, we confidently grow them into the next generation of successful entrepreneurial leaders. Future e-blasts will include the class schedule for the week plus pictures and a brief summary of class tours and activities.
