Enjoyed reading the rest of your thoughts, but EVERY TIME this comes up I feel compelled to pop in to the discussion.
Nope. EI is NOT, and should not be, a runner-up for the Chairman's Award. Separate judges, no presentation (at regional events/CMP... IMO the district system of 'presenting' for EI is kind of odd, and makes it too easy to think that it's runner-up to CA). Similar objectives? Yes, but not the same. Chairman's is the gold standard for changing culture, where EI might be a good sign that you're moving in the right direction.
