"P.E.O. is a philanthropic organization where we celebrate the advancement
of women, educate women through scholarships, grants, awards, loans and
stewardship of Cottey College; and motivate women to achieve their

highest aspirations."

​                                 Nevada P.E.O. Beginnings

​P.E.O. came to Elko, Nevada when Chapter A was chartered on October 7, 1916.  What tenacity these strong and brave sisters must have had as Supreme Chapter chartered eleven chapters from Chapter A, Elko in 1916 to Chapter K, Boulder City in 1945.  Those who have traveled Nevada know that this venture to and from those first cities (Elko, Reno, Ely, Fallon, Sparks, Las Vegas Carson City and Boulder City) covers over 4,600 miles of two lane roads.  At its first convention on November 8 and 9, 1946 Nevada became a state chapter.  Today Nevada boasts 37 local chapters and more than 1,400 active members throughout the state.

P.E.O. is not political nor is it a political action group. Individually, each member may work for causes of her choice outside of P.E.O.; as sisters, we respect one another’s political and /or religious views and activities. We meet to support each other for fellowship and for the common and united purpose of assisting women reach their educational goals.
