Test Drive the EO Experience

Test Drive is a short event that provides a mock Forum exercise to illustrate the value of EO to business owners like you. We also invite current EO Members to share personal experiences and business lessons with you in an honest, no-obligation Q&A, and we will explain the main benefits of membership. We’ll also have a few other surprises up our sleeves that you won’t want to miss.

There is no cost associated with attending if you are a qualified prospective member,
nor is there any obligation to join EO.

Prospective members must first apply to the chapter to ensure they meet the Entrepreneurs’ Organization membership criteria. You can begin an application below or find out more by speaking to our Chapter Administrator, Vanessa Lightner, at admin@eoportland.org.

Once you have completed your application form, the Membership Chairs will then contact you for an interview, and make a decision on your application. You will also be required to submit a revenue verification form signed by your CPA and complete a basic background check.
