LCEDG is proud to serve as both the fiscal agent and a Charter Investor for Lee County CEO as the program prepares to enter its third year.

This program is helping shape the next generation of Lee County leaders, entrepreneurs, and problem-solvers by connecting students directly with local businesses, mentors, and real-world experiences.

Congratulations to the incoming 2026–2027 Lee County CEO class! We are excited to watch you learn, grow, build, and lead. 🚀🧡

LCEDG has a quick ask for the community.

Think of one person under 30 in Lee County who is doing great things.

Got someone in mind? Nominate them for Lee County 30 Under 30.

It only takes a few minutes, but it can make a big difference in recognizing the people moving our community forward.

Last Thursday, LCEDG hosted the 11th & 12th Grade Career Expo, bringing together students and employers for a look at local career pathways and workforce opportunities.

The event featured 24 exhibitors and welcomed over 150 students. Students connected with partners across key industries including public safety, skilled trades, construction, manufacturing, energy, CDL simulation training, and community college pathways.

The expo continues to play an important role in strengthening local talent pipelines by connecting students directly with employers who are actively building the region’s future workforce.
