What is an ESOP?
An ESOP is a retirement plan—but also a way of living and running a company. For insights on both technical and cultural aspects of these plans—which provide benefits to employee owners, the company, the community, and exiting owners—and links to additional resources, see our web page titled What is an ESOP?

This Election Matters for ESOPs. Be Sure to Vote!
Election Day is November 8th, 2022, and it’s important that employee owners take the time to ensure their voice is heard when selecting our representatives in Washington, D.C. and in state houses and legislatures nationwide. And while we often think or talk about election “day”, the reality is that your opportunity to vote extends well before election day. In 2020, more than 91 million ballots had been cast by Halloween. In the end, more than 154 million votes were cast in 2020, out of more than 257 million potential voters.
