The August EOM Webinars series has wrapped, and attendee response confirmed it hit the mark: practical, real-world ideas that employee-owned companies can put to work immediately.
Sessions spanned strengthening and sustaining ownership culture, creative engagement strategies, and advocacy updates for ESOP companies navigating a shifting regulatory landscape. Each installment brought a different angle, but the throughline held: speakers who do this work every day offered takeaways attendees found accessible and practical enough to use right away.
None of that happens without the volunteer speakers who gave their time to prepare sessions, answer questions, and share what’s actually working inside their own companies. Their willingness to speak candidly about real challenges and big wins is what made the series resonate.
This series is also a warm-up for what’s ahead. ESOPATHON, the single largest fundraising effort supporting the Employee Ownership Foundation, runs September 1 through October 31 to fund scholarships, research, employee owner training, and executive learning. Beyond the dollars raised, ESOPATHON brings chapters together around a shared purpose, leading right into Employee Ownership Month, which arrives in October and dedicates the month to spotlighting what ownership culture looks like in practice.
