At Sholeh Events, our passion has always been creating unforgettable experiences and bringing people together. But as any business owner knows, turning a passion into a thriving, scalable business requires continuous learning, strategic growth, and strong leadership.
That is why this spring, our founder, Sholeh, took an exciting step forward by participating in Innovation DuPage’s Owner 2 CEO program.
What is the Owner 2 CEO Program?
Owner 2 CEO is an intensive 10-week educational initiative designed specifically for entrepreneurs who are ready to transition from working in their business to working on their business. Over the course of ten weeks, participants dive deep into strategies for scaling operations, refining business models, and stepping confidently into the CEO role.
Topics included leadership style, marketing, brand development, HR, building a tech stack, cyber security, financials, insurance, and more!
Celebrating Growth and Community
Sholeh had the privilege of graduating alongside 10 other incredible local business owners in June 2026. While the curriculum provided invaluable business insights, one of the most powerful aspects of the program was the community built along the way.
The biggest takeaway? The support doesn't end at graduation. Sholeh has discovered a community of supportive, encouraging fellow entrepreneurs and resources at Innovation DuPage!
As Sholeh Events looks ahead to our next chapter, the resources, mentorship, and ongoing connection with this amazing community continue to be invaluable assets.
Looking to the Future
Investing in leadership means investing in our clients, our events, and our future. We are so grateful to Innovation DuPage for their dedication to supporting local entrepreneurs and empowering small businesses to reach their full potential.
Thank you, Innovation DuPage, for your investment in our local business community. We are applying everything we’ve learned to make Sholeh Events bigger, better, and more impactful than ever!
