New to EONJ – LaunchPad Forum

What Is Launchpad?

The What

• The EONJ LaunchPad Forum creates an experience for all new members, opt out members who are interested in participating, and members who would like to join the group for an additional Forum experience.

The Why

• To introduce new members to the Forum experience right away, while giving them a place to hone their forum skills during their journey to achieve permanent Forum placement. Also, opt-out or long term Forum members can become re-engaged and join LaunchPad in search in a new Forum.

The How

• All new members must complete the online Forum training within the first 2 weeks after joining EO. (They will be formally trained within 60 days.) Once online trained the member is ready to join the LaunchPad Forum and participate in monthly meetings. An experienced Forum Moderator functions as moderator for the Forum.
• LaunchPad Forum has a Constitution, charges fines, uses gestalt and has monthly meetings scheduled in advance and posted on EONetwork.
• Moderators of Forums looking for members attend these forum meetings, seeing new recruits in actual forum setting, giving both parties a better idea for fit.
• Due to the need to keep Forums to a manageable size the limit is 8 attendees at any LaunchPad Forum meeting. Current LaunchPad members will be automatically regsitered for each meeting leaving the remaining open spaces to be filled by additional EONJ members on a first come first serve basis. Guests will be held to the Forum Constitution with late fees ($50) and no show fees ($100) implemented. Cancellations are not permitted without a cancellation fee ($100).

As a reminder, we will be enforcing all cancellations and no show fees for all events without 48 hours notice.

Dear EONJ Member:

It is my pleasure to share my personal vision and mission and the strategic board priorities for the coming year.  In the attached 3-page document, you will find the following items:

– 2016-2017 Board members

– My Personal Vision and Mission

– EONJ Chapter Priorities by Function

– Global Strategic Initiatives (“Vision 2020”) and EONJ’s Chapter Alignment

– EO Core Values

Please support the efforts of the Board in helping to carry out their initiatives and in engaging our own entrepreneurs to learn and grow.

All of the members on the Board are volunteers and I cannot thank them enough for their time, energy, dedication to the Chapter, and most importantly their servant leadership.  Our Chapter will continue to thrive for so long as we are engaged with each other, participate in events, help to grow our membership, and most importantly take ownership of our EO Experience and constantly abide by EO Core Values.

Through my leadership journey within EO, I have experienced a profound transformation,  personally and professionally.  I feel more inspired than ever before, and I am excited to be taking this next step on my path of leadership with all of you by my side.

I look forward to serving the Chapter with passion and excellence.

Best,

Harris

The weekend of July 30-31 Past Presidents Carl Gould and Michael Schofel met up with EO St. Louis members Jeff Linihan and Brian Handrigan. Jeff and Brian were visiting NJ for the PGA Championship. While in NJ they reached out to foster their already existing relationship. Jeff Linihan was part to f the EO StL crew who volunteered their time to do cleanup in New Jersey after Superstorm Sandy on January 4, 2013. Here are some of the photos that we took while doing the cleanup at Beaton Marina in Tom’s River.
