Finance Chair

“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! “

Strategic Alliance Chair

I am honored and thrilled to have the opportunity to serve on the EO RDU Board. It's always been my belief that the more you invest in something, the more rewarding the experience becomes.

Forum Chair

As Forum Chair, I joined the board to help strengthen what I believe is the heartbeat of EO— our Forums. This role aligns with my strengths as a healthcare leader, entrepreneur, and visionary, and I’m deeply committed to fostering spaces where members feel connected, supported, and challenged to grow. I believe we rise by lifting others, and Forum is exactly where that transformation begins.

Member Engagement Chair

Over the six years I’ve been in EO, my business has gone through several transformations—each sparked by a kernel of insight I picked up through this community. I joined the board as Membership Engagement Chair because I want EO to be that same catalyst for others. Members only unlock the full value of EO if they connect early, which is why I’m passionate about making their first 100 days welcoming, engaging, and transformative.

Membership Engagement Chair

I joined the board because I am inspired by the caliber of leaders involved in EO and how they show up for each other. 5% conversations are an invaluable connection with other leaders and   challenge how you think about both business and life. Plus, the events are consistently worth the investment of time.

Chapter Manager

“As the Chapter Manager I spend most of my time helping my board members plan events and build programs to support our members and Accelerator participants. Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road, but it doesn't have to be. Bringing people together who are committed to growth and to authentically sharing their experiences is my favorite part about working with EO!"
