EO US Central Bridge is part of EO’s Bridge product. There are over a dozen Bridge Chapters around the world and any member of EO has access to joining a Bridge Chapter, either as a primary member or a secondary member. We ask that all members be forum and moderator trained (we can help with this!) and willing and able to serve on Board as a Director, Co-Chair, or Committee Member.
For FY26/27. dues will be $5300, $2500 of this will be considered retreat credit and able to be redeemed by members when registering for retreats. Members will now be able to use retreat credit for SLP registration.
All members must attend at least one retreat per year. If a member does not meet this requirement, they may be placed on probation for the following year.
As a member of EO US Central Bridge, you can count on one key promise: a high-impact, expertly-led Forum Mashup at each of our in-person retreats. Because of the unique structure of our chapter, the Forum Mashup experience is central to our value. When it comes to Forum, most members engage in one of the following ways:
1. Forum Mashup Only – You remain a member-at-large and participate exclusively in the Forum Mashups during retreats.
2. Full Forum Transfer – Your entire Forum transitions from your local chapter to EO US Central Bridge. These Forums typically meet monthly and also participate in Mashup during retreats.
3. Forum Placement – You are placed into an existing EO US Central Bridge Forum. Placement timelines depend on availability and how many members are actively seeking a Forum. Please note that each EO US Central Bridge Forum has its own meeting cadence and ground rules.
Let us know your preferences so we can support the best experience for you.
