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.

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.

Over the last five years, The ESOP Association has undergone significant changes as the executive team, Board of Directors, and TEA staff have strived to modernize, expand, and transform the Association’s capabilities and offerings in order to better serve our membership and the cause of ESOPs and employee ownership.
Earlier in March, The ESOP Association marked Jim Bonham’s five-year anniversary leading TEA and the Employee Ownership Foundation.

The ESOP Association encourages Congress to strengthen The Endless Frontier Act (S. 1260) by supplementing it with the bipartisan Sanders/Moran WORK Act Amendment, which provides critical resources to educate business owners about the benefits of employee ownership and the economic and competitive stability that flows from it. Business longevity and succession planning for the millions of current American businesses facing the retirement of their owners is an essential element to any long-term American competitive strategy.
