EO Membership Benefits
Forum
What would you give for the ability to tap into a group of 7-10 fellow business owners who can offer you direction based on their experiences? Your monthly Forum acts as your personal board of advisors and allows you to explore the deepest decisions you face in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Moderator-trained EO members guide the sessions, which emphasize confidentiality, personal responsibility and lessons learned. Members don’t give advice; they speak from experience, letting you draw your own conclusions on how to best proceed. Forum meetings take place in locations throughout Western New York including Buffalo, Rochester, and Batavia.
Global Events
EO Global events combine provocative learning programs with unique resources and memorable social venues. These enable you to learn from business experts, experience other cultures and build relationships with members outside of your chapter.
Chapter Events
You can participate in regular chapter learning and social events, all of which help you grow as a business, family and community leader. What’s more, the peer interaction and educational opportunities at these events will help you become a well-rounded entrepreneur by expanding your network and improving your business knowledge.
Executive Education
EO is proud to offer members the opportunity to learn at a higher, more intense level through executive education programming, both locally and globally. EO challenges members’ assumptions, tests their ways of doing business, and introduces them to new and unexpected ways of thinking. Most importantly, members return to their business with fresh ideas, new skills, a toolkit of resources and a greater capacity for addressing the challenges they and their company will face.
Healthnetwork Foundation
Connecting members to the best health care and counseling in the world through alliances with top centers of medical excellence, the Healthnetwork Foundation offers members peace of mind. If a member or one of his/her family faces an addiction, mental health need, illness or injury, the Entrepreneurs’ Organization provides access to leading doctors at the best facilities around the world through Healthnetwork Foundation.
MyEO
MyEO is about members hosting MyEO Events, forming MyEO Groups and creating personalized MyEO Forums geared toward their unique interests.
EO PRESSPASS

MYeo youth exchange
This benefit gives your children the opportunity to spend a gap year between high-school and college to travel the world to spend time with multiple EO families and working in multiple member companies.
