Join EO Chicago for a casual, feel-good evening supporting The Grace Network—a local organization doing powerful work to help Chicagoland students fight hygiene insecurity.
This event is open to members and their kids and is designed to be meaningful, hands-on, and easy to say yes to.
What to expect:

Hear directly from The Grace Network about the impact they’re making in our city
Stuff hygiene care packs that will go directly to those in need
Enjoy a laid-back pizza party with fellow EO families

No pressure. No programming overload. Just good people, good hearts, and real impact.
This is our third year in a row supporting The Grace Network, and it’s become one of those EO Chicago traditions that reminds us why community matters so much.
If you’d like to learn more about the organization or how to deepen your involvement, feel free to reach out to our Event Day Chair, Ross Rocklin.
Bring your kids. Bring your heart. Come make an impact with us.

About The Grace Network:
The Grace Network is a Chicago-based nonprofit ensuring no child faces the indignity of hygiene insecurity. By partnering with schools to provide essentials like deodorant, shampoo, clean clothing, and even in-school laundry facilities, they help kids show up at school clean, confident, and ready to learn.
Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of students who need it most.

Execution Learning Day

Build a stronger team: Learn how to align, lead, and grow your people.
Develop a Strategic Advantage Over Your Competitors
One common challenge that quietly sneaks up on successful scaling companies is the subtle transition from excellent, precise execution to passivity, complacency, and eventually poor execution disciplines. Tightening up your execution habits can dramatically improve your gross margins and profitability while reducing the time it takes to get work done.

Q4 Forum Training
2026-05-12 08:00 - 17:00 | EO House Chicago, 1714 North Damen Avenue 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL, 60647
In-Person Forum Training with Patty Campagna

This will be a full day, in-person forum training for all new Members and SLPs.
Forums are at the heart of EO. These safe, confidential groups foster EO members’ peer-to-peer discussion and reflection in a supportive, noncompetitive and nonjudgmental atmosphere. An SLP Forum works the same way, but allows members’ SLPs to meet regularly with others who may share a similar mindset and who may be going through—or have gone through—similar experiences as the SLP of a leading entrepreneur.
In preparation for Forum Training, we would like to help set your expectations to ensure you get the maximum value.
You might be wondering how this training could possibly consume a full day. We understand that you are busy and getting away for a day is challenging! So please allow us to explain…
The training will provide you with the knowledge and techniques necessary to get the maximum benefit out of your Forum – for both your business and personal growth. You will learn the mechanics of how Forum works, best practices to help you get added value, and you will actually practice the tools the techniques with your new Forum. You will learn and share with your Forum mates, and start discussing what you want out of this Forum experience.
Please view this day as an investment in your own development, where you will gain tools that you can utilize in both your personal and professional life – not just in Forum!
Please plan to work without technology. There will be small breaks for you to check your phone.
Agenda:
8:00am ~ Soft Start and Light Breakfast available.
8:30am ~ Hard Start.
12:00pm ~ Lunch.
5:00pm ~ End
RSVP by: 5/1/26.
Attendees: New Members & SLPs (Members & their SLP must train separately.)
