I have been an EO member for over 15 years.
Over this time EO has provided me with a platform to identify and engage in specific techniques for growing my firm and addressing the ongoing challenges of being a managing partner in a growing firm. This need is satisfied through the various learning sessions, one on one interactions with other EO members, and through my membership in a thoroughly engaged and intimate Forum.
Recently I left the firm that I started out of my apartment over 20 years ago that grew to be a sizable firm to be part of a larger firm. That firm has been growing significantly and has turned into a multi office enterprise in less than a year. I would not have had the courage and skill sets to both leave my old firm and build a new firm from scratch without the intellectual capital and resources available in EO and the support of my Forum. And that has been my experience with other factors of my business throughout my EO membership.
It is in my DNA to be a resource to my fellow EO members. This has evolved into my participation on the board which is currently as Strategic Alliance chair. As someone that has been a large benefactor of EO's intellectual capital I chose to create the EO MasterClass. MasterClass is a series of morning workshops focused on subjects specific to growing businesses. These are highly interactive learning sessions.
MasterClass topics include:
-Employee Benefits Packages
-Impact of the New Tax Act on Businesses
and Business Owners
-Outsourcing
-The Art of Negotiation
-Exit Planning
Currently the MasterClass series have an average 9+ satisfaction rating.
I look forward to my continued participation in EO.
