Alumni Spotlight: McKade Gillette, CEO Class of 2023

"CEO has helped me see all the possibilities and opportunities of being your own boss and helping your community. It has opened my eyes in more ways than one....There is no doubt in my mind, if I wouldn’t have gone through CEO, there is no way I would be able to reach my full potential. I owe a lot to my mentors Shanda Walker and Brad Gruhot and so many more!”
