PBS Mini-Series’ Stars Come to NHHEAF Scholarship Breakfast
Concord, NH - On Wednesday, May 14th, four NH college students will receive $5,000 college scholarships at the annual College Equals Opportunity (CEO) Awards Breakfast, sponsored by the NHHEAF Network Organizations, at the CR Sparks Event Center in Bedford, NH. CEO is a statewide public awareness campaign that highlights the college experiences of NH business leaders. This year, an exciting partnership with The NH Forum on the Future brings guest speakers Jason Manion and Bernardo Pantoja, two representatives from the national movement and PBS program, Roadtrip Nation. Jason and Bernardo will share their life-changing journey which allowed them to hear firsthand from CEOs across the country about the trials and tribulations leading to their future success. Roadtrip Nation makes it possible for college students to travel the globe in search of wisdom and guidance from those that have found achievement in their careers. Attendees will hear all about the program and the experiences of these two past road-trippers. Following the guest speakers, successful NH CEOs will take questions about their journeys and the impact college had on their careers and lives.
