Employee Ownership Events
A core principal of the Employee Ownership Foundation mission is the promotion of employee ownership throughout the nation. Use this calendar of upcoming events as a one-stop location to find opportunities to meet others interested in employee ownership, learn, network, and become engaged in the employee ownership community.
ESOP Employee Accelerator
Develop a solid foundation, develop new perspectives on ownership, and learn with and from one another at the ESOP Employee Accelerator Program (EEAP).
This one day course is designed primarily for hourly and salaried non-managerial employee owners, the EEAP offers a combination of interactive lecture, small group discussions, and structured exercises.
Typically, attendees come from ESOP companies where developing a culture of ownership is an important aspect of corporate success. Participants are often members of the board, ESOP committees, problem solving teams, company trainers, and informal non-managerial leaders.
Leading in an Ownership Setting: The Program for CEOs
This unique program helps top executives maximize their ESOPs by fostering employee owner engagement and participation that impacts the company’s bottom line.
This intensive two-week program offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn with and from other ESOP executives, forming relationships and networks that last long after the program ends.
ESOPATHON
ESOPATHON is a month-long, activity-based, fundraising event that allows employee owners to set up their own chartible fundraising webpage, participate in teams together (like their own ESOP company team), all while celebrating Employee Ownership Month.
When you participate in ESOPATHON, you pick your activity and recuit colleagues, friends, and others to support your effort. Do you swim? Great! Get colleagues to donate a dollar for every lap in October! Are you a runner? Ask your friends to donate funds per mile run. How about reading books? Absolutely. So long as your activity can be measured by time, distance, or units you can raise funds toward that goal. Join a company team and maximixe your contribution!
