The ESOP Association Gears Up for Employee Ownership Month with Virtual Miniseries

As Employee Ownership Month approaches in October, The ESOP Association is setting the stage for an impactful Employee Ownership Month (EOM) celebration with the return of its popular Virtual Miniseries. This member-exclusive, four-part event kicks off on August 5 and is packed full of fresh ideas, proven strategies, and peer-driven inspiration.

Held every Tuesday at 2:00 PM ET throughout August, the EOM Virtual Miniseries is crafted to help ESOP companies of all sizes and experience levels plan meaningful and engaging celebrations. Each session is about 30 minutes and features peer-led presentations, practical strategies, and real-world examples of how companies have brought their EOM celebrations to life.

What to Expect

The Miniseries is designed as a go-to resource for all your EOM needs and gives participants the opportunity to hear new strategies and fresh perspectives from TEA staff and fellow employee owners. Each session will tackle a range of topics offering creative approaches to celebrating employee ownership. This year’s sessions include:

• ESOPATHON: This session will provide step-by-step guidance for organizing and executing ESOPATHON events, a popular way to combine team building with fundraising and fun.
• Maximizing Communication Tools: Attendees will explore how to best use TEA’s digital resources including the HUB, to access and share resources, start discussions, and elevate communications during EOM.
• Planning Congressional Site Visits: TEA staff will share how easy it can be to invite a member of Congress to your workplace, a key opportunity to showcase the power of employee ownership and strengthen legislative support.
• Engaging Games and Activities: This session will highlight creative ideas for involving employee owners in meaningful ways, covering 20 game and activity ideas to help liven your celebration. 

Whether a company is new to EOM planning or looking to expand on past efforts, the series offers something for everyone. It aims to help participants turn October into a month of pride, engagement, and education about the benefits of employee ownership.

Free and Easy to Join

The miniseries is free to all TEA members. Registration is now open, and members can sign in through the association’s website to reserve their spot.
