SUMMARY:EO Chicago Q2 Forum Training
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Forum Training with Patty Campagna\n\n\nThis will be a full day\, in-person forum training for all new Members and SLPs.\nForums 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.

We understand that you are busy and getting away for a day is challenging! So please allow us to explain… \nThe 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. \nPlease 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! \nPlease plan to work without technology. There will be small breaks for you to check your phone. \nAgenda: \n8:00am ~ Soft Start and Light Breakfast available. \n8:30am ~ Hard Start. \n12:00pm ~ Lunch. \n5:00pm ~ End. \nRSVP by: 10/6/25 \nAttendees: New Members & SLPs (Members & their SLP must train separately.)

SUMMARY:Middle of the Road | Standing Against Extremism - Hosted by YPO
DESCRIPTION:Experience History\, Music\, and Dialogue in a Profound Evening of Reflection and Connection\n\n\nYPO Gold Chicago Invites EO Chicago to November 10th Event! \n  \nMiddle of the Road | Standing Against Extremism \nExperience History\, Music\, and Dialogue in a Profound Evening of Reflection and Connection \nStep into an unforgettable evening that blends history\, music\, and conversation in a way that will move both heart and mind. While the atrocities of WWII are widely known\, far less familiar are the poems and songs that emerged from within concentration camps and secret hideaways across Europe. These works—created in the darkest of times—offer rare insights into the resilience\, spirit\, and humanity of their writers. \nRenowned composer Ira Antelis has curated a powerful program of selected works\, brought to life through narrators and performers who illuminate the stories behind the music. Providing essential historical context\, Bret Werb\, musicologist at the National Holocaust Museum in Washington\, D.C.\, will share his expertise on this remarkable body of music. \nBringing the discussion into today’s world\, Casey Babb\, a leading expert on social\, military\, and extremist movements\, will guide us through a thought-provoking dialogue on modern-day intolerance and extremism in North America and across the globe. \nThis evening promises to be more than a program—it is an opportunity to reflect\, to learn\, and to engage in meaningful dialogue with fellow members. It is history brought to life\, music as testimony\, and conversation that resonates far beyond the moment. \n  \nClick here for video \n  \n  Day Chair: \nDavid Mendelson\, Honorary. \nAttire: \nBusiness Casual. \n  \nParking: Complimentary Valet Parking will be available. \n  \n RSVP By: 11/3/25. \nAttendees: EO Members and SLPs
