The Athens Chamber of Commerce held a graduation ceremony recently for the members of their Young Entrepreneurs Academy. These students took 30 weeks out of their lives, from November to May, and created their own businesses. As CEOs, they came up with business plans, financials, marketing plans and filed their DBAs.

“We at the Athens Chamber of Commerce could not be prouder of the great accomplishments they have made,” said Kristina Jacobson of the chamber. “We are excited to watch them grow and prosper throughout their business venture.”

The students included Esteban Chairez, Evan Conley, Hayden Gore, Lauryn Gore, Christian Kocian, Kaden Mattingly, Brooklynn Newman and Will Perryman.
