The Shelby County CEO class has prepared all year for their CEO Trade Show, which appears on Wednesday, May 8th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Foxmore Venue in Shelbyville.

County CEO classes gain entrepreneurial skills through various group-based activities that venture inside businesses to understand what it takes to become a successful business owner. Once the students have these foundational skills they each begin their own business surrounding a passion of theirs.

CEO Members, Lizzie Reed and Jack Jokisch went on the WTIM Morning Show in Shelbyville to announce the trade show and describe their personal business that will be on display.

Lizzie Reed describes her business, Boat-Dash, a play on the popular food delivery service, Door-Dash, which will end the trouble of needing to get off of the water when people get hungry.

Jack Jokisch is starting up JJ Athletics, an agility program for young athletes who want to sharpen their skills.

Reed speaks on learning the soft skills of business, like proper handshakes and public speaking, and how those aspects have prepared her for the real world.

The Foxmore is located at 222 East Main Street in Shelbyville. Find more information about the Shelby County CEO class by clicking here.
