Chapter Officer Training is an annual investment in the health of EO chapters that provides foundational training to help Chapter Officers excel in their leadership roles. In these sessions, incoming Chapter Officers gain the skills needed to serve their chapters in their designated board positions, discover tools to make their work easier, and share best practices with other local board Chairs from around the globe.

Chapter Officer Training is designed exclusively for incoming Chapter Officers. If you are not an incoming Chapter Officer, you will not need to attend Chapter Officer Training.

Depending on chapter size, a certain number of complimentary allocations for Chapter Officer Training will be allocated on a sliding scale for member-leaders’ registration at GLC.EO will cover their $1200 registration cost.

This sliding scale of allocations replaces EO’s prior policy of limiting complimentary tickets to just six per chapter, regardless of size. Effective immediately, the number of registrations allocated to chapters is as follows:

• Chapters with 99 or fewer members: 6 tickets
• Chapters with 100-149 members: 8 tickets
• Chapters with 150-199 members: 10 tickets
• Chapters with 200+ members: 13 tickets

For any additional officers beyond those allocations, there will be an out-of-pocket cost of US$1200 per person. As soon as possible, eligible Chapter Officers are strongly encouraged to register their GLC 2024 attendance to ensure their place at GLC, since participation will soon be open to all paying EO members.

There are 13 Chapter Officer Training tracks being offered this year:

Accelerator
Area Director
Finance
Forum
Governance
GSEA
Engagement
Learning
Marketing Communication
Membership
MyEO
Presidents
Strategic Alliances

Some tracks may include additional virtual training or other materials as part of their teachings. The Chapter Officer Training team will be in touch with pre-work and other resources in the lead up to the in-person training in April.

Individual tracks will not be recorded for later viewing. The in-person Chapter Officer Training experience is designed for incoming Chapter Officers to network, connect, and learn from one another.

Will there be a training track for Chapter Staff at GLC?

There will not be a track for Chapter Staff at 2024 GLC. Chapter Staff attending GLC in-person, in place of a Chapter Officer, may attend that Officer’s assigned track, with the exception of the President’s track. 

EO decided to align Chapter Staff training at the regional level to allow for more focused training and connections. However, Chapter Staff who attend GLC are welcome to coordinate a time amongst themselves to meet while at the event.

Are Board Chairs who do not have a track at GLC able to attend another track?

Only the Chapter Officers who are assigned to a track should attend that training track. Other activities will be available for General Members and Spouses/Life Partners who are unable to join Chapter Officer Training. Even without Chapter Officer Training, participating members and Spouses/Life Partners will enjoy equal access to the organizational messaging onstage, as well as any of the learning opportunities around Singapore.
