Your benefits
A membership in the Entrepreneurs’ Organization offers several advantages, as EO is not limited to just a single networking format. Here's an overview of the pillars of our Executive Community:
Group Meetings in Forums
Our members most value the EO Forum: regular meetings of groups of 7-10 business owners. These meetings facilitate the exchange of experience and knowledge in a confidential setting. Matters of both, business and personal life, are equally important and are addressed directly and openly. Members benefit from the specialized knowledge and experiences that only entrepreneurs can share.
Path of Leadership
For over 30 years, EO has been helping entrepreneurs grow as leaders both within and outside of EO.
Members actively participate in leading and managing the entire organization. In this expanding network, there are frequent opportunities to improve your own leadership skills. Entrepreneurs who wish to engage can participate in special programs for the development and training of executives.
Global Events
Events of EO Global, held throughout the year, combine inspiring learning programs with unique resources and unforgettable social gatherings.
Chapter Events
As an EO member, you are invited to participate in unique chapter events focused on learning and engagement.
Exclusive Education
At the heart of EO's mission is the relentless commitment and effort to assist young entrepreneurs – enabling them to learn and grow on both a personal and professional level.
EO Mentorship
Our EO Mentorship is a chapter-driven program designed to help you grow as a business owner via lifelong learning.
Ambition
EO's ambition is to enable transformative growth in the lives of its members. To achieve this, EO brings together like-minded entrepreneurs, creating an environment that fosters unique connections and relationships.
EO offers a space where leaders can engage in real conversations and learn from each other by sharing their experiences, successes, and failures openly and trustfully.
Our goal is achieved when we see our EO members reach their goals in business and/or personal life. Each member defines what successful change means for them: it could be measurable growth in business performance or personal development. The most important thing is that the change and its impact are real and make a significant difference.
