EO KENYA RENEWALS NOTICE FY 2026 - 2027
Dear EO Kenya Members,
On behalf of the EO Kenya Board, we want to express our gratitude for your contribution to the Chapter during the current year and trust that this year has been a fulfilling one in your EO journey. The Board invites you to renew your membership for the year 2026/2027 and this notice provides guidance on the renewal process.
Invoices will be issued on May 4th, 2026 to members who have submitted all the forms in compliance with the renewal process.
Income Verification and Grace Application Forms
All members are required to submit Income Verification Forms confirming that each member meets the turnover criteria ($ 1 million) and that the business is a qualifying business.
Please note:
1) From July 2022, members who have been with the Chapter for 10 years and are in good standing are not required to be assessed annually for turnover or qualifying criteria.
2) New members who have joined the Chapter from January 1st, 2026 are not required to re-submit income verification forms.
Any member who does not meet the turnover or qualifying criteria can request a one-year grace period based on the recommendation to the Board by the Forum Moderator and the Membership Chair. Subsequently, a member may request an extension to the Board on the recommendation of the Forum Moderator and the Membership Chair of a grace period for another two years. This extension is granted annually on the basis that the member continues to add value to the Chapter and the Forum as an entrepreneur and that the
extension and the support from EO will enable the member to meet the turnover and qualifying criteria at the end of the grace period.
Kindly note that the provision of incorrect information on the meeting of the qualifying criteria will result in instant disqualification from membership with no refund on the membership dues paid for the year.
Member Commitment Forms
All members (including tenured members) are required to commit and adhere to the EO Governance documents by providing consent in respect to use of personal data provided by EO.
We kindly request that all forms are completed and sent to the EO Kenya administration team at manager@eokenya.org and assist@eokenya. org no later than April 30th, 2026. The 2026/2027 membership will not be renewed if these forms are not received by the stated deadline.
See the links below to all three forms:

Considerations Every Founder Should Discuss Early
GLC 2026 is currently underway in Dublin
GLC is currently underway in Dublin, with members of our new board attending alongside our incoming President and Chapter Manager.
GLC (Global Leadership Conference) is EO’s flagship leadership training event, bringing together chapter leaders from around the world. It’s where leaders are equipped with the practical tools, frameworks, and clarity they need to run strong chapters, from governance and finance to member engagement and culture.
Beyond the training, it’s the global exposure that really sets it apart. Our board connects with peers from other chapters, shares ideas, learns what’s working elsewhere, and builds relationships that often turn into lifelong connections. It gives real perspective on how EO operates at its best, and what we can bring back home.
Stepping into a leadership role in EO is one of the best ways to accelerate your own growth. GLC sharpens leadership skills, builds confidence, and gives you access to a global network of experienced entrepreneurs, all while putting you in a position to serve the chapter at a higher level.
Here are a few photos of what they’ve been up to.
Next week, we’ll hear directly from our President Elect and attending members on their key takeaways.

EO 360° with Dave Will
On a recent episode of the EO 360° podcast, host Dave Will (EO Boston) welcomed renowned performance coach Todd Herman, who has worked with executives, entrepreneurs, and worldclass athletes including Kobe Bryant, Rafael Nadal, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Todd explains the mindset tools elite athletes and other top performers use — such as creating alter egos — and how founders can apply them in business.
Wonder with Kalika Yap
Gayle Jones, an Emmy-winning sports producer, joined the EO Wonder Podcast and host Kalika Yap (EO Los Angeles) to discuss her company, FuelBoxx, which offers snack kits for student athletes. After realizing that her own teen athletes depended on junk food for energy, she thought there must be a better way to get them the nutrition they need to perform. FuelBoxx helps bridge the gap between professional and student athletes by providing kits developed by sports dietitians to optimize performance. For every kit sold, another is donated to communities without equitable access to healthy food.
