Summer may be here, but there’s no vacation for TEA’s Chapter teams! We’re continuing to be all about education, as hundreds of TEA members participated in 18 Chapter events held throughout the nation in the month of June. And it’s going to be a busy summer, with ten more TEA Chapter events being offered in July and August. We’ve got Roundtables, ESOPortunity events, multi-track meetings, and golf outings planned, so please be sure to check the latest calendar and join an event near you!

Mid-summer brings with it a regular cadence for most businesses and employees. For families, school is out, summer programs have begun, and vacations are on the calendar. For many businesses, summertime brings seasonal accelerations as well. Construction of all types is well under way to hit deadlines while the sun is shining. Hospitality and entertainment are in full swing, as more Americans are out and about in the nice weather.

Employee Ownership, Culture
Oct. 30
Editor’s Note: As part of this year’s Employee Ownership Month celebration, we asked our members to share, in their own words, what being an employer means to them.
By Leila Castañeda, Strategic Initiatives Manager, Rincon Technology, Inc.
When I first interviewed for the position at Rincon Technology, I was asked to describe the life I always wanted to live; it was a question I had never been asked before by a potential employer. My shoulders and expression relaxed. Lost in thought, contemplating the request, I responded: “freedom.”

Jeff Mounts, Marketing Manager at ESP International, absolutely loves a certain quote. When you hear it, you understand a lot about Jeff, why he has become an invaluable member of the Communications Committee at ESP International, and why he earned The ESOP Association award for 2019 Employee Owner of the Year.
That quote? It’s from Albert Einstein, who said: “Creativity is intelligence having fun.”
