How do you select who sits in each EA Circle?
Every EA Circle is different, with its own group dynamic and we take great care to ensure that new members represent the right 'fit' with the existing membership.
Each new member is met by the Managing Director and CEO of The EA Circle. The aim of the meeting is to gain an understanding as to why they have joined The EA Circle, and what they would like to achieve from their membership. We also discuss personal and professional interests, background and experience and most importantly challenges and achievements. The size and scale of their organisation is also another factor in finding the right 'fit'.
Shaping the membership of each group is one of the key roles of The EA Circle and is taken very seriously.
