What you’ll experience
EO 101 — the essentials (quick tour): how the global EO network works, more about EO New Zealand specifically, our learning and events program, and what membership involves. (Presenter: Phil Bull, EO NZ Chapter President)
Fireside chat — learning in action: candid insights from Helen Mackay, founder of Juno Legal, on the real highs, lows, and pivotal lessons from her journey. Moderated by Christine Westbury.
Forum ‘test drive’ — how the magic works: see the structure, hear two members share a real ‘5% reflection’, and get a feel for the format.
Hear from our members: meet some of our current members, followed by Q&A and mingling, and find out what steps to take to become a member.
