Our Mission:

Center for Economic Options (CEO) is a catalyst for West Virginia entrepreneurs to develop socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable enterprises that foster individual and community wealth.

CEO is an independent non profit organization that has a long history of developing innovative model program. CEO supports people's initiatives to create sustainable* jobs for themselves and others and contribute to their local economies, the environment, and community wealth through business ownership. To do this, CEO targets failed market systems and helps create the missing infrastructure - usually network structures - to fill gaps, enabling the natural flow and vitality of responsible, locally owned enterprise. We see true success when our demonstration models are replicated and/or absorbed by locally-owned businesses.

CEO also engages in special initiatives which facilitate sustainable business development.

*Sustainable - meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (This definition was created in 1987 at the World Commission on Environment and Development)
