Objective: To afford small business owners who meet all EO membership criteria but operate companies between $250,000 and $1M in revenue an opportunity to participate in a program with 3 distinct segments:
1. Classroom:
The program will begin with 12 biweekly classes taught by Michael Burcham, President and CEO of the Entrepreneur Center. Each class will take place at the center, dinner will be provided, and they will conclude with an informal networking event for the participants as well as the EO Members. We’ll begin the program in August, and intend to only have one Catalyst class of 20 participants this fiscal year.
2. Forum:
The Catalyst participants will experience a form of the EO forum for a period of one year after the conclusion of the classroom segment. The 20 Catalyst members will then be divided into 3 different forums that will meet for 12 months. Each forum will have EO members assigned to lead the forum for the first 6 months.
3. Mentoring:
We will also provide an EO Member as a mentor to meet quarterly with each Catalyst member. There will be specific guidelines and expectations for these quarterly meetings, and the mentors will be assigned upon approval of participation.
Additional EO Events:
Catalyst members will be invited to many official EO learning and social events throughout the 18 months of Catalyst participation.
