In the rapidly evolving business landscape, employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) have emerged as a pivotal strategy for fostering an engaged and motivated workforce. The heart of successfully navigating the ESOP ecosystem lies within the effective communication strategies deployed by an organization. At the forefront of these strategies are ESOP Communication Committees, whose role extends far beyond mere information dissemination. These committees are instrumental in creating, building, and sustaining education, alongside driving cultural improvements within employee-owned companies.

Aaron Moberger, an employee owner and Project Manager at Avid Products, was recently named as the inaugural Vice Chair of the Massachusetts Center for Employee Ownership’s advisory board. Aaron is the immediate past President of The ESOP Association’s New England Chapter, and for years has been a key volunteer leader in TEA’s chapter network. We asked Aaron to share his thoughts about his new leadership role with MassCEO, and how the organization can help grow employee ownership in the state.

The most common comments I hear from ESOP Advocacy Day attendees before participating are some version of “I’m not sure what to do/say” or “It’s a little intimidating.”
The most common refrains I hear after Advocacy Day: “This was easy and really fun” and “I can’t wait to do it again next year!” I encourage you to join ESOP Advocacy Day whether it’s your first time or you’ve been doing it for years.
