    President

    “I am excited be on the EO board this year. What is even better is that I am the Membership Chair which gives me the platform to tell others how much I love EO! EO offers so much variety and opportunity for both professional and personal growth to Entrepreneurs. Members can benefit from being part of a small forum where they can build “trusting” relationships as well as participate in large group learning activities that are often lead by amazing, well known speakers. The social events are creative, fun and well organized!! I truly feel like I have a supportive community that I can learn and grow with. EO has transformed me as a professional and feel honored to be a member! “
