Three ACHS students selected for Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute (ELI) Trey Garmon, Heather Jackson, and Noah Richard of Adair County to attend Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute (ELI) to develop business and leadership skills at The Center for Rural Development By Sharon Dodson The Center for Rural Development Three Adair County students have been selected by The Center for Rural Development to attend the Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute (ELI) and grow their business and entrepreneurial skills as representatives of the region's next generation of leaders. Trey Garmon, Heather Jackson, and Noah Richard, all students at Adair County High School, will attend ELI during the week of June 13-18, 2010, on The Center's main campus in Somerset, where they will work with business professionals to receive the tools to launch a start-up business.
"ELI focuses on creativity, teamwork, and the development of business skills, and encourages participants to consider starting their own business as a career option," Jessica Melton, associate director of education and training, said. "As a team, they work together to develop a business plan and present that plan to a panel of potential investors in a business concept competition on the final day of the program." Members of the first-place business concept team are eligible to receive a Presidential Scholarship from Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) in Richmond, Ky. The winning team also will be recognized at the 2010 Excellence In Entrepreneurship Awards (EIEA) luncheon program on Sept. 13 at The Center. ELI--one of three summer youth programs sponsored by The Center--inspires students to be creative thinkers, work as a team, and develop critical business ownership skills. "We've had several innovative and potentially successful businesses pitched to the panel over the years," Melton said. "Their ideas are always interesting, creative, and thought-provoking, and are another great example of some of the talent we have in Southern and Eastern Kentucky among our region's future business leaders and entrepreneurs." High school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors within The Center's 42-county primary service area are eligible to apply for ELI. Program expenses (excluding transportation costs to and from the host site) are provided free of charge to participants and their parents. The Center for Rural Development provides economic and community development programs to residents in a 42-county primary service area of Southern and Eastern Kentucky, and is home to several statewide and national technology-based programs.
