- CEO - 2006 Last Dollar Grant Recipients
Once again this year, Clermont Educational Opportunities (CEO) is awarding
Last Dollar Grants to students who have demonstrated financial need as well as a
strong desire to continue their education after high school. After all other
financial aid resources have been tapped and a bit more is still needed to meet
the cost of attendance, CEO steps up with the "Last Dollar" Grants to help
bridge that gap and make students' post-secondary education a reality. CEO
currently partners with five high schools within Clermont County and every
senior enrolled in the program this year was eligible to apply for this grant.
A scholarship committee comprised of six CEO board members reviewed and scored
the applications based upon each applicant's level of need and demonstrated
desire to succeed in post-secondary education. Two winners were chosen from
each participating Clermont County high school, for a total of ten Last Dollar
Grant awards. Each winner will receive a grant for $500 that they may use
toward tuition, room & board, books or other cost of attendance expenses.
This year's Last Dollar Grant winners are:
| Amelia | Kellee Bernhardt & Stacie Huang |
| Clermont Northeastern | Derek Mullins & Morgan Ross |
| Glen Este | Kelly Adamson & Kimberly Adamson |
| Live Oaks | Kristie Mills & Jake Power |
| Willismaburg | Brett Bastin & Anna Gilbert |
We congratulate all of these fine young students and wish them all the best in
their journeys toward higher education.
For more information on the Last Dollar Grant and the Clermont Educational
Opportunities program, contact Nancy Hall, Program Manager at

- A Transparent Leader Must Listen
Sometimes it's hard to be a good listener. We're human after all, and we're not
like dogs or cats that have senses so heightened that they can hear even the
lowest-frequency sounds without effort. Some animals run in erratic circles
when an earthquake is about to hit because they can hear the P waves, the very
first pressure waves at the rupturing fault of an earthquake; but a lot of times
we humans don't know a disaster is coming until it's too late. Wouldn't it be
nice if you could sense every disaster at the rupturing fault, before it hit
your life or business? But we're human, and it's not that easy. We have to
work on developing our listening skills, and we have to think of listening as
an important component of leading.
Listening is especially important for leaders at high levels. If you want the
truth, you have to get into the trenches and listen; otherwise the information
you receive will be filtered up through employees and managers until it reaches
you clean, clear, and…distorted. You won't hear about the issues that negatively
impact your business units, you won't hear about he employee who made your customer
angry, and you won't hear about the demeaning manager who affects employee
productivity (negatively). If you make it a point to listen at every level and
keep an open-door policy that encourages employees to communicate with you,
you'll be able to hear the good and the bad, and detect disasters before they
strike. Be a good listener. You'll be surprised how much you'll learn.

- Tomorrow Will Be a Better Day (But How Exactly?)
What do you want?
What do you need to get what you want?
What are your strengths, your weaknesses? What is the next step you need to take?
Forget about vague concepts and loose opinions. What are the facts?
Most of us have plans, lots of plans. And we have ideas, lots of ideas. But we so rarely turn our
ideas into our plans, thus creating our future, because little of what we think about progresses
beyond concepts and opinions.
Of course, we can never measure ourselves against concepts and opinions because they are too
abstract to define. Thus, we can't say whether we're making progress or what we need to change.
Define your goals, and define your plans to attain them.
