WHY JOIN

See how EO helps entrepreneurs achieve their full potential.

The EO Experience

Since its inception in 1987, members of EO have been building a global network to serve the unique needs of the complete entrepreneur. This innovative process has sustained a growing organization that has withstood—even flourished—during times of economic uncertainty, and now with a global footprint in more than 61 countries.

For entrepreneurs and founders of businesses making more than US$1 million in annual revenue, there is no better opportunity to learn and grow than the one that is provided to you through membership in EO. The EO experience and benefits are provided within a chapter model. Here are our current ways to connect with peers in a chapter setting:

Join a local chapter

You may have heard about EO from a trusted business connection or perhaps you’ve been lucky enough to attend an event as a guest. Membership with a local chapter will immerse you into the local entrepreneurial community and connect you with 6-8 thought-leaders and peers monthly in a Forum. We have 200 local chapters located among 63 countries and this list is ever expanding!

Join a bridge chapter (regional chapter)


Can’t find a local chapter near you or looking to expand your scope of influence by connecting with peers beyond your local community? A bridge chapter is for you! Meeting 2-4 times annually in locations among a particular region, bridge chapters provide a different experience and allow you to meet entrepreneurs regardless of where you live.
