EO Melbourne Chapter News

July 2024

Hi ,

How awesome was our Annual Awards and Gala Dinner? Check out some of the photos from the sensational evening here.

As your new President, I’m excited to deliver on our theme for the year: Member Value.

We’ve got some incredible events lined up. Nam Baldwin and best-selling international author Ryan Holiday will be joining us in August! And, as I announced at the Gala, we’ll be going overseas for our 2025 Chapter Retreat. Stay tuned for more details.

Looking to elevate your Forum experience? We’ve got exciting plans in store. This September, we’re introducing Forum Next Level training, followed by a Forum Workshop Festival in 2025. 

Building connections beyond the forum is something we’re laser-focused on. We’re planning some fantastic initiatives to help us connect, learn, and grow together.

Thanks for trusting me with this role. Let’s make this year epic. 

If you ever want to chat, email, call or WhatsApp me anytime.

Cheers,

ACCELERATOR - The Accelerator Committee wishes to welcome three (3) new coaches to the EOA Program for this next FY: Ben Simpson, Laiken Clarke, and Rick Bazerghi. Continuing as coaches are Cesar Aldea and Matt Butterworth.

MENTORSHIP - The Mentorship Launch/Training for the next intake is moved to Tuesday, 3 September 2024, 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm AEST, at the Royal South Yarra Lawn Tennis Club. We encourage EO Melbourne Members to apply as Mentees to the program, with only 5 spots left. On the other hand, we welcome non-EO members, including EO Alumni, YPO members, Strategic Alliance Partners, and experienced entrepreneurs to apply as Mentors.
