Join the First National Employee Ownership Ad Campaign

Dear Valued Member,

This year, in celebration of Employee Ownership Month, I am thrilled to announce we are launching a nationwide advertisement campaign to showcase the profound impact and benefits of employee ownership. On behalf of the Employee Ownership Foundation and The ESOP Association, I would like to invite your company to be included.

This will be the first ever, nationwide advertising effort to promote Employee Ownership and demonstrate the breadth and impact of Employee Ownership within our communities and our nation. 

Our initial campaign will feature full-page advertisements in leading national and regional newspapers across the country, including publications such as The Washington Post, the Kansas City Star, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times. I am personally inviting you to participate by including your company’s logo and website in these impactful ads. Each participant will be asked to make a donation to the Employee Ownership Foundation as part of our annual ESOPATHON effort. The suggested donation will be based upon the region and distribution of the publications in which your company will be included. Your involvement will not only support our Foundation but also ensure your organization is prominently represented during this significant month.

We have organized these advertisements regionally around the areas of highest concentration of ESOP companies to ensure the greatest opportunity for participation. In addition, any company that participates within a regional advertisement will also be included in the Washington Post advertisement that will be seen by the most influential policymakers in the nation and help our community advance.

To participate, please confirm your interest by contacting Leandra Wilder at lwilder@esopassociation.org. 

This is a valuable opportunity to stand out and show your dedication to employee ownership. We hope you will join us in making this campaign a success and celebrating the impact of employee ownership.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards, 
James J. Bonham 
President 
Employee Ownership Foundation
