Update for local chapters on the P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education! A local chapter will continue to vote to sponsor an applicant but is no longer required to suggest a grant amount when submitting their chapter recommendation. PCE applicants are now required to complete a Proof of Enrollment form as part of the application process. This form will be part of the online application and can also be found on the International website: https://lnkd.in/gKPJFm2H.

The Member Update form has been refreshed. This streamlined form can be found on the P.E.O. International website by clicking Manage Membership under the Membership tab or by searching "member update." All members should use the form to update their own contact information and all local chapter officers can use it to report chapter membership changes. Reporting changes is the corresponding secretary's duty, but all officers have access to this section of the form and can provide assistance.

Founders’ Day is a special day where we honor our seven founders. Starting in 2025, you can honor our past, while celebrating the present, with International P.E.O. Day! In conjunction with Founders' Day on January 21, this is an opportunity to spread the mission of P.E.O. out in the community. Wear your P.E.O. apparel and perform an act of community service and spread the word about P.E.O.

Why are YOU a P.E.O.? This is a question that should be answered by each and every one of us! What inspires you about P.E.O? What is it that makes P.E.O. special that we can share with our sisters and new members? An excellent resource for a chapter program is the Know Your Core P.E.O. Why. This program will help guide each of your sisters in connecting with why P.E.O. is important to them, and in turn they can share this with others! https://lnkd.in/gRdtCJXG
