EAO and Behind Every Leader were launched due to the experiences the founders and advisers had working as, and with, EAs throughout their combined careers. Members of the EAO network gain access to a wide breadth of benefits designed to help someone grow in their role as an Executive Assistant, therefore becoming a better leader for their employers. EAO will offer numerous resources to help professional EAs excel in business, family, community and the career in which you work. It is intended for EAO to open the EAs world to an abundance of possibilities, new opportunities and the worldwide camaraderie of like-minded professionals. Members will be people with challenges in their positions, who want to expand their business networks, or who are looking to connect with new and experienced EAs and office professionals who are ready to share their experiences and best practices. As a global network, EAO offers connections, tools and resources needed to reach the next step in a members career and to help them excel in each aspect of their professional (and personal) journey. • Local Chapters on a Global Scale • Personal Advisory Board • Peer Networking • Mentorship & Career Guidance • Customized Training Programs & Cutting Edge Curriculum • Behind Every Leader Events • Preferred Vendors List
