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.
