The Accelerator Chair’s mission is to continue to build and strengthen the Accelerator program providing a steady stream of graduating members.

To accomplish this, you will work to ensure that every participant integrated into the program has a scalable business that is dedicated to the growth and creation of a valuable learning experience for the participants to foster business growth and create initial relationships with other EO members.

Together, we have identified the following goals, responsibilities, benefits and expectations of you in your position as Accelerator Chair, and by signing this document you accept the obligations, which are expected of you in fulfilling these positions during your tenure as Accelerator Chair:

GOALS:

• To develop and run a successful Accelerator Program through the introduction and retention of participants
• To deliver a strong Accelerator Learning program to Participants
• Overseeing Accelerator accountability groups
• Organizing quarterly events for Accelerator Participants
• Inviting participants to occasional EO events
• To introduce participants to EO Melbourne and excite participants about the opportunity to become an EO Member once qualified
• Graduate participants into EO Melbourne when qualified
• Building a team of EO Members to assist you in running the Program and to eventually succeed you as Accelerator Chair

To achieve the goals or other objectives for the Chapter, you may have several ideas and initiatives that you wish to pursue. Many of these ideas would have been generated during your time at the GLC based on the experiences of other Chapters in Australia, New Zealand or around the world. You may also have discussed some ideas with your predecessor during succession meetings. You should raise these ideas for consideration with the Board at the Strategy Summit. Please summarise them in the Appendix to this statement, so that they can be quickly reviewed and considered by the Board on the day.
