Eolis brings a long list of accomplishments in the poker industry and plenty of leadership skills to the head position at the table. She is well known for her unstoppable energy and a big bundle of smarts. After serving as WPA vice-chair in 2007 and as chair of its executive committee since last December, Eolis was elected to her new position with the enthusiastic endorsement of the WPA's Board of Directors. Eolis' trademark 3-D personal philosophy of discipline, desire, and determination is on display. She comments, "I plan to keep my foot on the pedal and our collective feet to the fire so as to provide concrete results that serve our membership's interests - sooner rather than later." Almost immediately following her election, Eolis called upon fellow director and expert event planner, Annie Van Bebber to join her for meetings with Rio and Harrahs executives to secure space for the WPA's First Annual Conference. Eolis also sealed the deal with the World Series of Poker for a WPA mega satellite at the WSOP, convincing the powers that be to offer the tournament with nine handed tables. Eolis says, "This is a good a first step in WPA's efforts to improve playing conditions for tournament competitors around the world." |
