Formerly known as Spousal Forums, Spousal/Life Partner (SLP) Forums offer the loved ones of EO members a chance to experience the same support, experience-sharing and education that members enjoy. These specialized Forums are becoming more common as members’ spouses and life partners discover the profound benefits of taking their involvement with EO to the next level.

Tom McManus, Chapter President of EO Western New York, was inspired to launch an SLP Forum in his chapter after hearing about their value at the 2016 Global Leadership Conference (GLC) in Bangkok. McManus returned home and decided to launch an SLP Forum in late 2016—leaving him just four months to prepare.
