Your Path Back to EO Chicago
EO Chicago · Elumni Reactivation
Welcome back to EO Chicago.
You built something here — the forum, the friendships, the hard-won lessons. We kept your seat warm. Here’s the simple path to reactivate your membership and step back in.
How it works
Four steps back in.
No re-application from scratch — you’ve already earned your place here. Here’s all that’s left.
Reach out
Tell us you’re back
Send a quick note to our membership committee — or straight to our Executive Director. We’ll confirm your standing and get your reactivation moving.
Board approval
Board approval & revenue verification
Reactivations go to the EO Chicago board for approval. Have your accountant complete the revenue verification form so we can confirm eligibility and greenlight your return.
Rejoin
Rejoin & pay your dues
Once you’re approved, review your prorated dues below and pay whichever way suits you — card via Stripe, or ACH/wire. This is the step that makes it official.
Get reconnected
Forum placement & re-onboarding
The moment you rejoin, we kick off your forum placement and re-onboarding. A lot has changed since you left — plenty of new things — and we’ll walk you through all of it.
What it costs to come back
You only pay for the months ahead.
Two line items, both prorated by the month you rejoin.
Covered by EO Chicago — on us.
We know what a strong entrepreneur brings back to this room, so the chapter is absorbing the full Global reactivation fee. It never hits your invoice.
What you’ll pay to rejoin
Dues are prorated for the months left in the membership year (through June 30).
Amounts are prorated for the months remaining in the membership year. The $1,750 Global reactivation fee is paid by EO Chicago on your behalf.
Ready to pay
Two easy ways to settle up.
Choose whichever works best for you or your finance team.
Pay by card
Fastest — instant confirmation
Heads up: card payments include a 3% processing fee.
Pay by ACH or wire
The chapter’s better with you in it.
Let’s make it official. Reach out and we’ll take it from there — the rest is easy.
