Since pursuing and winning PEAK in 2017, Entrepreneurs’ Organization’s Utah chapter is well on its way to achieving yet another victory: Hosting a successful EO Alchemy in October 2018. Octane recently checked in with EO Utah’s leadership to discuss the year ahead.

Step Up is your chapter’s theme this year. What are you trying to inspire with this message?

Joe Long, EO Utah President FY2017/2018: As a 15-year member of EO, I renewed my membership for many years because of the benefits I received from attending Forum. However, when I began attending more chapter, regional and global events, the benefits of membership and my return on investment grew ten-fold. First and foremost, I wanted Step Up to mean Step Up your ROI in EO.

Professionally and personally speaking, I want to inspire and challenge our members by asking them to Step Up in three areas: leadership, fitness and community.
