Entrepreneurs' Organization Renames Volunteer of the Year Award After St. Louis Member Mark Lincoln

St. Louis (PRWEB) November 19, 2007

The St. Louis Chapter of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) is pleased to announce that the EO Volunteer of the Year Award has been renamed the Mark Lincoln Volunteer of the Year Award. Mr. Lincoln helped found the St. Louis EO chapter in 1993 and is a two-time recipient of the volunteer award.

"Mark has been an integral part of launching and growing the St. Louis Chapter of EO. Mark has also unselfishly donated his time and immeasurable talents to strengthen EO Global in their time of need," said Tom Dunn, St. Louis Chapter EO president. "We are extremely excited about this fitting honor for Mark and we could not be more proud to call him a St. Louis member."

Over the years Mr. Lincoln has held various positions within the organization, including involvement in the St. Louis EO Chapter and at the international level, where he served as volunteer managing director. Aside from his work with the EO, Mr. Lincoln serves as president of Thirdsigma Corporation, a private investment and consulting firm investing in real estate and closely held businesses. Mr. Lincoln has also been extensively involved in starting and building non-profit organizations.

The Mark Lincoln Volunteer of the Year Award recognizes EO members who demonstrate commitment and dedication to entrepreneurial growth. The award is traditionally given to a member who meets the following criteria:
•goes above and beyond the call of duty;
•travels extensively on behalf of the organization;
•always has something positive to say about EO;
•treats fellow members, as well as staff, with trust and respect;
•has an exceptional thirst for learning and reaches out to share his/her knowledge and experiences.

"Mark's involvement in EO exemplifies the true meaning of the word volunteer," said Scott Zajac, senior managing director at Advantage Capital Partners in St. Louis. "He has continuously gone above and beyond the call of duty, setting a high bar for those who follow."

The Entrepreneurs' Organization honored Mr. Lincoln and announced the change in the award name at the Entrepreneurs' Organization's 20th Anniversary Celebration in Las Vegas last month.
