EO USCB chapter dues are $4,800 per year. Each member receives $3,000 in retreat credit to use toward retreats of their choice during the fiscal year.
- You can apply most or all of your credit to one retreat or spread it evenly across several. The choice is yours.
- Retreat credit cannot be used for SLP registration.
- Credit is non-transferable to other members, including EO USCB members.
- All retreat credit must be used within the same fiscal year—it cannot be carried over.
- Any retreat costs beyond your available credit must be paid out of pocket. For example, if a retreat costs $1,500 and you use $1,000 of your credit, you’ll need to pay the remaining $500 before the event.
If you are joining in the middle of the year, the amount of retreat credits will be prorated depending on how many retreats are remaining.
In terms of forum types/meeting schedules, there are a few options:
- Your entire Forum moves from your local chapter to EO US Central Bridge. In this scenario, these forums typically meet monthly and do additional forum meetings at retreats.
- You get placed into an EO US Central Bridge forum. In this scenario, you will share what you’re looking for during the application process and our Forum Chair will help place you.
- You can stay at large and solely participate in the Forum Mashup during retreats.
If you are joining an existing EO US Central Bridge forum, they all have different meeting cadences and rules. Some meet solely at retreats 1x per quarter, others meet virtually every month AND in-person at retreats, etc.
Yes! You are able to register your SLP to attend Chapter Retreats! SLPs are invited to participate in any and all activities, aside from Forum / Forum Mashup.
Yes, non-EO US Central Bridge members can attend events, if availability permits. Such guests will be screened by our membership chair / members of the Board to ensure that they meet the expectations that EO US Central Bridge has intentionally curated.
