Melanie Smith.

Melanie is beginning her 5th year as the Union County CEO facilitator.  She has been married to her husband, Jimmy, for 30 years and they have 2 daughters, Samantha and Amanda, who both participated in the UCCEO program when they were in high school.   Over the past four years, Melanie's respect and appreciation for her community has grown through her involvement with the CEO program.  She loves getting to introduce the students to local business and community leaders as well as growing her relationship with them.  "I am continually amazed by the incredible community support and encouragement that we receive in our program.  We have engaged and committed board members, business owners and leaders, community leaders and members, parents and other family members and alumni who continue to show up and help out in so many ways.  I am honored to work with our CEO students and the aforementioned people who help make our Union County CEO program what it is."
