We loved having Luke Williams, VP of Scott State Bank and Mayor of Mount Zion, spend time with our CEO students!

It’s always powerful to see the level of support our program has from community leaders who truly understand the purpose of CEO—helping students build meaningful connections within their own network so they can one day return and strengthen the very communities that poured into them.

Luke shared insight into the growth and development happening in Mount Zion and spoke about the bigger picture—how business development, school districts, and housing are all connected. His passion for the community is evident, and it was inspiring to hear how much he enjoys seeing the “fruits of his labor” come to life.

We are incredibly grateful for his continued support, as well as Scott State Bank’s commitment to the CEO program from the very beginning. It’s encouraging to see CEO working exactly as it’s intended—bringing together people who believe in our students and are willing to invest in their future.

Thank you, Luke, for pouring into our students and helping shape the next generation of leaders right here in our community! 🙌
