ESOP Employee Owner of the Year: Nominate an ESOP company employee!
The Employee Owner of the Year should be an employee below the level of senior management. Despite the lack of a firm rule stating the employee owner has to be an hourly or non-management employee, these two terms can be general guides for the selection process.

- Serves on the ESOP committee or an employee advisory committee.
- Contributes to a company publication.
- Helps with Employee Ownership Month (EOM) observances.
- Leads employees to a better understanding of the ESOP and employee ownership.
- Attends chapter meetings, helping with chapter meetings or activities.
- Provides letters to elected officials.
- Attends or participates in Association meetings such as the employee owner retreat and national conference.
