Bridge Forums (also called Regional Forums) bring together EO members from different chapters into a shared Forum experience. They provide a structured and confidential environment where participants can connect with peers beyond their local network and engage in meaningful conversations.
Bridge Forums create space for members to build relationships across regions, gain broader perspectives, and participate in the Forum experience regardless of geography.
Bridge Forums meet regularly in a virtual format, with opportunities for in-person connection when possible. Each Forum follows the same structured approach as EO member Forums, including confidentiality, consistency, and the Forum Mindset.
Participants do not give advice. Instead, they share experiences that allow others to reflect and draw their own conclusions. Over time, this builds trust and strengthens the quality of conversations.
A Bridge Forum provides access to the Forum experience for members who may not have a local option or who want to connect beyond their chapter. It offers a consistent space to engage with peers who bring different perspectives and experiences.
Members often find that these connections expand their thinking and strengthen their sense of belonging within EO’s global community.
You can join an existing Bridge Forum or explore opportunities to participate through your chapter or region. Each option provides access to a structured experience supported by EO resources and best practices.
EO provides ongoing support to help Forums operate effectively. Members have access to tools and guidance that reinforce structure and help maintain a strong group dynamic over time.
