At the heart of the proposals is a move to a smaller, clearer and more balanced structure, designed to strengthen governance, improve accountability, and ensure the eoa has the right mix of member voice, operational insight, independence and expertise. As members you’ll share insights, create peer practice, and champion EO.
Transparent governance is fundamental to any great business. That’s why we need you to understand these changes, how they impact you as members, and understand how you’re represented. We’ll need your voting representative to attend or give permission to appoint a proxy ahead of the event.
