Had to drop out a bit earlier to catch my flight and trying to use the few minutes before boarding about the excellent experience EO Bangalore is consistently providing. The highest event which marks the end of the EO-year closing every June 30th is the President’s Ball. The outgoing president looks back on what the chapter has accomplished last year and hands over the reigns to the new president who would articulate his agenda for the following year. This year it was Rahul Matthan who handed over to Sagar Muthappa.
I find our EO Chapter Bangalore something truly special. The level of learning and bonding possesses an amazing breadth and depth for an entrepreneur. No doubt that the commitment of the chapter board is making this possible, where fellow members volunteer to allocate a significant portion of the time to run the organization in various designates roles – headed by the President. To the best of my knowledge, EO Bangalore is among all EO Chapters worldwide the only one which has formulated a binding constitution which sets the ground for a firm governance.
Noteworthy, in my observation, EO Bangalore managed to position itself as a truly eligible “club” which can be very selective whom to accept. By contrast, in e.g. Germany my perception has been that EO has to sometimes be “pitched” to qualifying candidates in terms of the value it provides.
Thanks Rahul for your phenomenal work last year and all the best Sagar, err, Mr. President for the your term ahead.
