The Effingham County CEO Experience is less than a month away.

The Experience is set for Wednesday, February 3 from 1-5pm at the Thelma Keller Convention Center in Effingham. Registration will begin at noon. The event is designed to showcase CEO and the class' impact on its students. A series of speakers will include keynoters Jon Acuff, Habeeb Habeeb, and a tag team of Karen Wolters and Craig Lindvahl.

Our Greg Sapp talked with CEO students Collin Hecht and Shelby Nunamaker about this year's CEO Experience...

Acuff is a New York Times bestselling author whose current book is "Do Over", a focus on those things in your life that matter most and how to amplify them and apply them in a new way.

Habeeb is a motivational speaker who will focus on the True Meaning of Success, which he says includes servant leadership, integrity, kindness, and finding joy in everything you do.

Wolters and Lindvahl will focus on The Magic Behind CEO. Wolters has been a behind-the-scenes supporter of CEO from its beginnings and is a noted entrepreneur who has started five companies. Lindvahl is an award-winning teacher, filmmaker, composer and musician who was tapped to teach CEO when the first class began in Effingham County. He has gone on to oversee the startup of CEO classes in a large part of the nation.

Those attending the Experience will hear each of the keynote speakers. There are also a series of breakout sessions featuring presenters who CEO students indicated have made an impression on them.
