Lori Chavez-DeRemer, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Labor.

In a “fireside chat” at the final general session of the Employee Owned 2024 Conference, Jim Bonham, President and CEO of The ESOP Association (TEA), talked with Lisa Gomez, Assistant Secretary for the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) at the Department of Labor (DOL), for a rare behind-the-scenes look into her journey of understanding employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) and her role in shaping their future. The conversation underscored EBSA’s evolving perspective on ESOPs and provided a detailed update on the Adequate Consideration Rule.

A few weeks ago, during Employee Owned 2024, The ESOP Association announced several major changes that are underway for the future of the Employee Owned conference in Las Vegas. Perhaps the biggest of these changes is an all-new location starting with EO25. After a long and very successful run at Caesars Palace, the growth of the conference in recent years meant that we had outgrown the space available to us there. However, this problem quickly bloomed into an opportunity, as it allowed us to set a new direction for the conference going forward

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.

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.”

There is plenty of data about wealth inequality, focusing on data alone misses a key point: Wealth inequality is about people. It is about people who go to work, pay their bills, meet their responsibilities, contribute to their communities, and pay their taxes—and who, in spite of their best efforts, are prevented from sharing in the wealth they help create.

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.”
