About
A highly engaged global community that happens to be regional.
The Bridge exists to give qualified entrepreneurs a real EO home, wherever they live. This is not EO Light. Members participate, prepare, and contribute.
Forum
Building relationships that matter.
The greatest value in EO comes from trusted relationships. In traditional chapters those form naturally through geography and frequent interaction. Bridge builds them intentionally. That’s why forums sit at the center of everything we do.
Traditional Forums
A home for forums that work
Forums with strong chemistry can transfer to Bridge together. We provide a new chapter home while preserving what already works. As member density grows in a region, members can also form local forums that meet in person or in hybrid formats, experiencing the full power of forum while remaining part of a broader regional chapter.
Business Issue Forums
The on-ramp to forum
Open to new members, those not yet in a forum, and anyone wanting more engagement. Each session focuses on a real business challenge using the EO Experience Share model.
- Immediate value
- Lower commitment
- Exposure to the forum process
- New relationships and real-world insight
Forum Mashups
Instamacy
Members are intentionally mixed with entrepreneurs they may never otherwise meet and guided through a full forum-style experience. The result is what we affectionately call Instamacy: the rapid development of trust, connection, and belonging that normally takes months or years to create. For Bridge, this isn’t simply a retreat activity. It’s a foundational strategy for creating connection across geography.

Investment
What membership costs.
Bridge chapter membership is $2,730 per year. That includes two chapter retreats annually, access to co-hosted US West chapter events, and full access to the Global Bridge Alliance network.*
Bridge dues are in addition to EO Global dues of $2,630 per year.
EO US West Bridge welcomes dual members: entrepreneurs who are already members of a local EO chapter and wish to join Bridge as an additional chapter membership. Bridge membership is one flat rate regardless of member type. Note: the $2,730 Bridge dues are in addition to, not inclusive of, EO Global dues and any local chapter dues you already pay. If you are a dual member, you will continue paying your existing chapter and global obligations separately.
* Additional retreats available on a pay-to-play basis. As members of the Global Bridge Alliance, all Bridge members also have access to retreats and experiences hosted by participating Bridge chapters around the world.
