Today was Banker Day—a milestone our Seneca County CEO students have been preparing for all year! Since the start of 2026, students have committed to their individual business ideas and worked tirelessly to develop their business plans with guidance from so many local experts and mentors.

Today, they presented the final draft of their plans to bankers from Croghan Colonial Bank, First National Bank of Sycamore and Sutton Bank — all generous investors of the Seneca County CEO program. Bankers Day challenges students to evaluate the feasibility and financial potential of their ventures, with a strong focus on financials.

We are incredibly proud of our students for stepping outside their comfort zones and strengthening their professional skills. Today they didn’t just present business plans—they took another step toward becoming confident entrepreneurs. 👏
