MESSAGE FROM
EONY MEMBERSHIP CHAIR
Business as Usual
Fellow EO Members!
We are a contender for Regional Chapter Membership Growth year to date, and I am confident we will do the same again in 2021-22. This growth occurred from the constant flow of member-based referrals and your introductions to great candidates, who in turn joined our chapter.
When accepting the role of Membership Chair in 2020, even as a seasoned member of this chapter, I was presented with the challenge of growing EONY. Initially, my concerns were that it would be a big lift yet manageable. Then my concerns quickly turned into full-blown panic when COVID came calling on us all. What I failed to keep in perspective was that it's times like these that often create opportunities for us to become stronger. The scales of success are tipped in the favor of those who are given the right environment to make it happen, and EONY was that environment for most of us. The Membership Chair role was no exception, and the new landscape simply brought out new opportunities especially when being supported and surrounded by our EO family of business owners. I reframed my thinking and realized the changes happened for me and not me!
Smooth sailing never made a great captain, and this pandemic redefined leadership, success, and opportunity for all. I acknowledge you as our members for being excellent captains.
Many of you helped other worthy business owners trying to help themselves by bringing them into EONY. Suggesting they consider becoming a member is a great opportunity for any business owner. The world changed and EO'ers didn't turn tail and run. Instead, you stood up and brought others along for the ride. I hope you realize the secret to this success by seeing it through the story of others and your own actions.
Keep reaching out to anyone you feel would make a great addition to our chapter. The EONY Membership Team and Ayeska Pichardo, Director of Membership are ready to make it happen!
Thanks again for helping us grow through your quality referrals.
Best Regards,
EONY Membership Committee Team
Len, Lisa, Shad, David, Debarshi, Ayeska, and Jessa
