We had a fantastic Banker Day 2026 with our Sangamon Valley CEO students!

Twelve students met with five bankers from two local banks to dig into their financials and apply those numbers to their individual business ventures. We were grateful to spend the morning at State Bank of Bement, joined by bankers from First State Bank and Trust, who generously shared their expertise and insights.

Students learned the importance of having a banker in their corner and how understanding their numbers leads to stronger, more viable businesses. Thank you to these professionals for investing your time and knowledge in our future entrepreneurs!
