Introducing the new 2017 president of the EO New York chapter, Steve Distante--interviewed by Jon Tota the EONY Learning Chair they go over entrepreneur organization’s vision for 2017 for the New York chapter Steve reveals that he wants to ramp up the focus on “Making A Mark” on the global scale that includes all the efforts at the local level. Steve has been working with key members of the org to bring more awareness around chapter sponsors because they are the ones who allow EO to put together the events that put EO in a position to Make A Mark. 

Jon asks Steven what inspired his 1EO concept and Steve reveals that this 1EO concept is about bringing the chapters together in a meaningful way, starting at the local level with Brian Brault, Sergio DeCordova to share the latests happenings outside of the local chapters that are creating impact in an effort to invite a deeper involvement from the local level. 

Steve and Jon highlight that the Student Entrepreneur summit is one of the more exciting events scheduled which ties into an initiative that Steve hopes to accomplish by tying the entrepreneurship community together from the young to the more experienced entrepreneurs via the example the sister chapter New Delhi has shown by launching KidsU--a university exclusively for the children of EO members. 

Finally Steve wants to invite engagement from the EONY chapter for one of the biggest ticket items in the budget, Nerve.
