The Key Executive program is open to all 2ICs of privately held companies with an annual turnover of AUD$1.3m or above. There are two membership levels – EO, and Corporate membership. Key Executives of EO Sydney members receive a discounted rate.

Our program year runs from the 1st October – 30th September. participants may join the program at any month of the year, and the total fee will be pro-rated.

Key Executives are placed in forums with other non-competing businesses. Coaches are EO volunteers who are professionally trained to moderate and lead the executive forum.

The key executive program includes:

• Five full-day learning events throughout the year, facilitated by expert leadership trainers with keynote speakers and expert panelists.

• Monthly key executive forum focused on goal-setting and peer accountability lead by an EO Member.

• Use of EO goal-setting and tracking tools to foster accountability and results

• Access to qualifying local and global EO events as shared

You will get as much out of this program as you put in. You are accountable for your own learning and business growth.

The best way to get there is by fully participating in the training days, learning events and implementing best practice in your business. We provide you with the education, structure and support networks; your drive and commitment are what will bring you success.

If your membership in KEP corresponds with a full EO membership arrangements can be made for you to attend training in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane or Perth. As per the Sydney training days participants cover their own transport and accommodation expenses.

If you are a non-EO KEP participant you are only eligible to attend training days in Sydney.

Every Key Executive Forum has its own rules in regard to attendance. Please ask your forum moderator for a copy of the group rules. Generally, if you can’t attend a monthly meeting it is up to you to reschedule the meeting to a time that is suitable for all other members.

At the beginning of each financial year from July 1st there will be a change in forum moderators and groups. Global best practice is to rotate groups every 6 months. Your group may or may not have new members joining throughout the year. Each year experienced EO members generously volunteer their time to moderate the executive forum groups.

You are welcome to participate in the Executive program indefinitely provided you are either attached to an EO member, or you have a corporate (non EO) membership.

Many KEP members hold a deep sense of connection and belonging with their fellow forum members and remain in the program for many years.

Our private WhatsApp groups are a great way to engage with the community and keep up to date with the latest program news. Please feel free to experience share, or ask questions across these platforms.

EO members and experts attend the Accelerator & Executive learning events which is a great opportunity for you to broaden your networks and connect. If you have a specific interest, ask your Forum Moderator who has access to the wider EO Sydney community and beyond.

EO welcomes and supports key executives wherever you are on your career journey. If you happen to leave employment or switch employers you may remain in the program. If your KEP membership is attached to an EO Sydney member and you’d like to remain in the program you will need to switch to a corporate membership and pay the difference.
