Attending ESOP Association chapter events goes beyond routine networking, they’re a powerful opportunity to build relationships, deepen your expertise, and stay connected to the real-world challenges your clients face. Whether you’re a trustee, legal advisor, or consultant, attending chapter events helps you stay ahead and become an even more valuable partner in the employee ownership space.
The conversations that happen at local events often lead to meaningful, long-term partnerships. Your presence and participation raise your profile within the regional ESOP community. All of this is available to you with TEA’s 19 chapters nationwide and year-round events. No matter where you are in the country, you’re guaranteed access to chapter participation.
Chapter conferences and events provide excellent education. Professionals can participate in advanced discussions on complex issues like fiduciary roles, governance, and compliance. Broaden your client base, CHAPTERS exchange insights with other ESOP professionals, and contribute to your local ESOP community by attending chapter events and making connections. It’s your obligation as a professional member to get your name out there and to give back to the ESOP community.
Members have gained valuable experience from attending chapter conferences and have had overwhelmingly positive experiences such as this one:
“The New England Chapter's Board of Directors/Trustee conference is some of the best conference programming I've ever been part of. It's so helpful to have a group of common stakeholders get together to dig deep into complicated fiduciary topics. Hearing how other companies have navigated corporate governance to create a strong partnership between their Board and Trustee is really valuable. ” — Jennie Msall, Director, Ventura Trust Company, New England Chapter
