The ELO Network
The Entrepreneurial Leaders Organization (ELO) was started in 2005 by Dr. Richard (Rick) J. Goossen with a mission to become the world’s leading organization to connect, equip, and celebrate Christian marketplace and entrepreneurial leaders. Since then, we have created ways to bring Christian CEOs, senior executives, and business leaders together to connect, learn, and grow. ELO organizes premier events to bring together all entrepreneurial leaders from throughout the Christian spectrum for synergistic difference-making. The vision of ELO is that, through collaborative effort, we can have an exponential impact. We invite you to be part of this collective undertaking whereby Christians magnify their difference-making capacity in our world.
What We Do
Peer Advisory Groups
ELO’s Peer Advisory Groups are comprised of Christian CEOs, senior executives, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders from across Canada. These groups help Christian business leaders learn, grow, and find meaning in their businesses. By meeting with other likeminded leaders and peers from non-competing industries, members are able to sharpen their entrepreneurial spirit and hone their skills as leaders.
