May 13, 2008 (Washington, DC) – The Mid-Atlantic, Carolinas, and Ohio/Kentucky Chapters of The ESOP Association have been recognized for their commitment to membership development at The ESOP Association’s 31st Annual Conference in Washington, DC. The ESOP Association is the national trade association for companies with employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) and the leading voice in America for employee ownership.
The Chapters demonstrated a focused commitment by working to persuade certain ESOP companies to join up with the largest group in America dedicated to ESOP issues and education.
“I am very pleased to present this award to these Chapters for all the work they have done to promote employee ownership in America,” said J. Michael Keeling, President of The ESOP Association.
The core cause of The ESOP Association is the belief that employee ownership will improve American competitiveness, increase productivity through greater employee participation, and strengthen our free enterprise economy.
