Some 50 people gathered at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium Monday night, for this year's Christian County CEO Student Orientation.  The 14 students and their parents, got to know CEO board members, investors, and the program's facilitator, as they head into this year's program.

Board co-chair Brenda Spurling emcee'ed the meeting, and told Regional Radio News the number of students has grown over the past 3 years.

Spurling added some of the past local CEO students are continuing their businesses.

And, the C-E-O co-chair said she's hoping that those past CEO students and their businesses come back to Christian County.
