We defend ESOPs and our many benefits because our employees earned them. Protecting employee ownership safeguards retirement security, strengthens our companies, and sustains the communities where ESOP businesses put down roots. This moment calls on leaders who benefit from ESOPs to step forward and protect the system that works for working Americans.

Coming Together in Washington, DC

Each year, the ESOP community gathers in Washington, DC for the National Conference & Advocacy Day to stand up for employee ownership. ESOP companies, employee owners, and professionals unite on Capitol Hill to advance a shared legislative agenda and speak directly with lawmakers. When the full ESOP community shows up together, Congress hears a clear, credible, and unified voice—and this year, with the goal line in sight, that presence matters.
