Vision and Goal
CEO is envisioned to create a world of opportunity.

Our themes are Dreams > Passion > Vision > Opportunity > Success.
Involvement
CEO is involved in many projects at a time. Our departments are designed to support one another and to keep all operations running smoothly. Every semester, all officers are required to present their goals and what they are going to do. At the end of every semester, a report is required on the accomplishments and success and what needs to be changed for the following semester.
Our weekly meetings are informative and low-pressure meetings. We discuss upcoming events, address issues, and usually get free food! We are always planning fun events as well. Come visit us at our next meeting to learn what the Canisius Entrepreneurs Organization is all about!
