The traditional holiday season, stretching from Thanksgiving to the New Year, is upon us, and employee owners are preparing to celebrate a cornucopia of diverse customs and festivities with family, friends, and one another. Some of us are planners while others are gatherers, so whether you are responsible for preparing a Griswald-esque turkey feast, perfecting the ultimate side dish bring-along, showing up your in-laws, or simply just showing up, take a moment to consider how this time of gratitude likewise influences the ESOP community.

The end of the year and the holiday season is an opportunity for many of us to breathe a bit easier in our jobs. It’s a time for office get-togethers, festive holiday parties, and enjoying the company of our friends and families. But for ESOP leaders, November and December can also be the most stressful time of the year.

Thank you to everyone who made The ESOP Association’s Employee Owned 2023 one of the largest and greatest gatherings of ESOPs and employee owners in history! With all the positive momentum for ESOPs and employee owners over the last two years, there was a great energy from the crowd throughout the entire three days of EO23, as employee owners convened at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for a deep dive into The Future of Work.
