Case Study: Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Louisiana achieves 50% membership growth and becomes the world's fastest-growing EO chapter with Align

A Remarkable Rebound Powered by Align

Entrepreneurs' Organization’s Louisiana chapter struggled to rebound after Hurricane Katrina, seeing membership fall from about 100 to as few as 30 and then stagnate around 55 as board plans failed for lack of follow-through. When Erik Frank became board chair he adopted Align’s strategic planning and execution software to bring discipline and accountability to the chapter’s growth efforts.

Using Align, the board narrowed its priorities, cascaded individual weekly tasks to those goals, and tracked progress with a transparent dashboard and automated weekly scorecard emails. The result: EO Louisiana grew more than 50% in Frank’s first year—becoming the fastest growing EO chapter in the world and on track to reach 100 members—while Align’s accountability tools also drove measurable improvements in Accelerator recruitment and board execution.
