EO Melbourne Chapter News

May 2024

Greetings and welcome to the May newsletter!


As we close in on the end of this financial year, it's an exciting time to take stock of our progress and prepare for the upcoming opportunities. May ushers in a fantastic lineup of events and initiatives that promise to energise our chapter.


First up, it's that time again for membership renewal. This is your chance to recommit to another year packed with learning, growth, and community spirit. I encourage everyone to renew promptly to continue enjoying the benefits and experiences we've planned for you.


Don't miss out on our exciting events scheduled for May and June. Our EOS Workshop and the Beyond the Price Tag Workshop with Matthew Pollard are on the horizon, and I'm particularly excited about the sold-out Firewalking Event. 


If you haven't yet secured your spot for our Annual Awards & Gala Dinner, now is the time to do so. Also, consider nominating a fellow EO Melbourne Member for the Entrepreneur of the Year award.


I'm also proud to share that our incoming board recently attended the Global Leadership Conference in Singapore. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to our incoming president, Costa Vasili, and his team as they gear up for their term.


Looking ahead, we're excited about hosting our EO Melbourne Strategy Summit with Fletcher McKenzie. We're set for a year filled with new learning opportunities, fresh connections, and robust growth.


Here’s to every success as we move forward together!


Warm regards,

P.S. As always, I’m just a phone call away at 0400835248 if you want to have a chat.
