As spring starts to turn to summer with its warmer weather and longer days, it’s always great to spend time with friends, old and new. At TEA, this past spring was full of time spent engaging with our community at our many events and National Conference.

The ESOP Association’s National Conference offers a variety of great experiences – culture and communications presentations, roundtables to share and learn with your peers, and an awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of employee owners and professionals across our chapters. But one other key piece of National Conference is advocacy.

Thank you to all the ESOPs and employee owners who joined us in Washington, DC, for TEA’s National 2023 Conference.
From the feedback we received, it was one of our most fun and productive events in recent years! This year’s theme of Education, Advocacy and Community really hit the mark as we continue to promote education for ESOPs and employee owners at the National Conference.

The ESOP Association looks forward to working with President Joe Biden and his incoming Administration to make employee ownership available to the vast majority of privately employed Americans. The ESOP Association believes that employee ownership strengthens our free enterprise economy, increases productivity through greater employee participation and satisfaction, and maximizes human potential by enhancing self-worth, dignity, and the well-being of working Americans.

We are encouraged by news reports that President-elect Joseph Biden will nominate Isabel Guzman to lead the Small Business Administration (SBA). As the head of California’s Office of the Small Business Advocate, Guzman has gone on the record stating the important role ESOPs play in helping our nation retain millions of businesses that might otherwise close when their Baby Boomer owners retire—as many are expected to do in the next eight years.

The ESOP Association congratulates Boston Mayor Marty Walsh on his reported nomination to the position of Secretary of Labor. Mayor Walsh has a history of engaging ESOP companies and encouraging employee ownership, and if he is confirmed, The Association looks forward to working with him and the Biden Administration to advance employee ownership.
