Outstanding Chapter Officer
2023

Brian Bowers
Hawaii Chapter

Brian is a tireless advocate for ESOPs in his chapter, a member of TEA’s Public Policy Committee, and works on TEA’s national advocacy efforts. Beyond his other leadership contributions, he has been a stalwart supporter and manager of the Hawaii Chapter, which has the single highest rate of participation of any Chapter in the nation, with nearly 60% of all ESOPs in the state being a TEA member!

Chapter of the Year
2023

Wisconsin Chapter

Chapter of the Year is chosen by looking at the educational programming and conferences provided to a Chapter’s members, support for the Employee Ownership Foundation and our annual ESOPATHON event, association membership retention and new member recruitment, and other metrics for engaging our local communities through public affairs and government relations. 

Congratulations to the Wisconsin Chapter!
