The ESOP Association Media Policy for Meetings and Events

The ESOP Association conducts more than 180 chapter and national meetings each year for the purpose of educating our members and potential members. At these meetings, attendees may discuss potentially sensitive corporate information either within sessions or in impromptu conversations outside of sessions.  

These interactions are fundamental to achieving The Association’s mission; to ensure these conversations are not negatively affected, ESOP Association meetings are private events and The Association does not offer press passes or permit members of the media to attend.
