Meet the Board

2023-2024 PRESIDENT

“I joined the EO Board because I love being around other entrepreneurs and I love EO! Being an entrepreneur can be lonely at times - the connections that I have made in EO make this journey a lot less lonely. In addition, I have found that my business continues to grow and improve when I surround myself with like-minded individuals, such as EO members. The EO community has provided me with invaluable learning experiences and I look forward to increasing my sense of connection within the EO community through participation on the Board.”

Karen Albright was featured in Yahoo Finance for her role as our President for '23-'24.

2023-2024 PRESIDENT-ELECT/MEMBERSHIP CHAIR

“To say that EO has been life-changing is an extreme understatement. The pressure of making sure we are making the right decisions every day can be very hard. To have a group of like-minded people to share that with is an amazing gift. This is why I wanted to join the board, to give back to something that has given me so much.”

2023-2024 GOVERNANCE CHAIR

“EO has had such an impact on my continued professional and personal growth that I wanted to give back and be on the board this past year. What I didn't realize is that serving in this capacity ended up giving me that much more and opened more opportunities to both exercise my leadership and also to significantly grow my network in the chapter and far beyond.”

2023-2024 MEMBER ENGAGEMENT CHAIR

“I am excited be on the EO board this year. What is even better is that I am the Membership Chair which gives me the platform to tell others how much I love EO! EO offers so much variety and opportunity for both professional and personal growth to Entrepreneurs. Members can benefit from being part of a small forum where they can build “trusting” relationships as well as participate in large group learning activities that are often lead by amazing, well known speakers. The social events are creative, fun and well organized!! I truly feel like I have a supportive community that I can learn and grow with. EO has transformed me as a professional and feel honored to be a member! “

Bringing people together who are committed to growth and to authentically sharing their experiences is my favorite part about working with EO!"
