Throw Your Pitch Day was a HUGE Success!!!
The Union County CEO team have “thrown their pitches” to our distinguished “Scouts” and are now officially introducing their individual businesses!
Each year the students work through the process of starting their own businesses. They brainstorm, research, plan, discuss and develop ideas into viable businesses. You, our CEO friends and family, have watched and supported this process through our social media posts, by hosting us at your businesses, by sharing your time and expertise as our experts and bankers, and by mentoring and encouraging the students individually and as a group.
This leads up to our annual Throw Your Pitch Day, our version of “Shark Tank”, where the students present a 30-60 second pitch, their business plans and examples of their products and/or services to a panel of “Scouts”. The Scouts ask questions, offer suggestions and evaluate the pitches, plans and products/services.
This year we were honored to have the following individuals participate as Scouts:
Lisa Tomazzoli, House 2 Home Realty/UCCEO Board Member
Mackenzie Scherer, Director, SBDC, Shawnee Community College
Dr. Tim Taylor, President, Shawnee Community College
Travis Holtkamp - COUNTRY Financial
We sincerely Thank our Scouts for their time, wisdom and enthusiasm for this event! We also sincerely Thank Shawnee Mass Transit District, Anna location, for hosting our event!
