West Central MN CEO 2026 – Mentor/Mentee Mixer

The West Central MN CEO Program hosted our annual Mentor/Mentee Mixer, an event designed to connect each student with a local business leader who will guide, challenge, and support them throughout the year. These relationships are the heart of our program—and one of the most powerful ways we prepare students for real-world success.

Mentors change lives.
-They open doors.
-They build confidence.
-They help students see the future not just as it is—but as it could be.

We are incredibly grateful for the leaders in our region who step forward to invest in the next generation of entrepreneurs.
