Members of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization in Oklahoma are pleased to announce seven new board members to the 2011-2012 board of directors. 

These directors have traveled to the EO Global Leadership Conference in Chicago in May to prepare for their tenure.

Roy Georgia, currently the principal of Techniq Consulting in Oklahoma City and recently CIO of GENASCIS, is the incoming president of EO-Oklahoma. 

As president, he will promote business and entrepreneurship in Oklahoma, recruit new members and act as a liaison between EO-Oklahoma and other EO chapters.

As a seasoned entrepreneur, Roy Georgia has spent his career building technology-based solutions and companies.  His success in his first start-up MEDIBIS, a subscription-based medical analytics software company, paved the way for his other ventures which consist of the mobile applications BuzzVoice and the soon-to-be-released PigeonMe. GENASCIS is the healthcare services company that acquired his first venture, MEDIBIS.

Roy holds a Bachelors Degree in Marketing from Oklahoma State University and a MBA from the University of Oklahoma.  Roy resides in Edmond, Oklahoma with his wife and two children.

“Being involved in EO has been an amazing experience,” Georgia said.  “Unlike any other organization I have been involved with, EO gives me a chance to be around like-minded peers that are focused on innovation and building businesses from scratch.  It’s a pleasure being selected as the incoming president of EO-Oklahoma and I look forward to taking our chapter to the next level.”

Other new board members include:

Gabe Bass (OKC)       Membership Chair
Greg Williams (Tulsa)   Forum Chair
Clay Slaton (Tulsa)       Integration Chair
Chris Evans (OKC)       Finance / Sponsorship Chair   
Rachel Hernandez (OKC)     Learning Chair

The new members will begin their transition to office in May, when the group attends the EO Global Leadership Conference in Chicago.  Approximately 600 entrepreneurs from every state and 100 chapters from around the world will attend the Chicago Global Leadership Conference. 

A comprehensive conference, the GLC provides two days of training specific to the office each director will hold. The conference provides an understanding of the fundamentals and responsibilities each director needs to effectively lead the organization. Approximately $600 million dollars of annual revenue is represented at the conference.

After the GLC, the new members will work with outgoing members to transition leadership.  The new board officially takes office on June 1.
