What’s next for employee ownership?

Wed., Sept. 7, 2022 @ 10:00 AM Pacific

There has not been this kind of legislative momentum behind employee ownership for the last few decades. Congress may pass major funding for state outreach programs and is considering funding programs for employee ownership loan support. What does this mean for the employee ownership community?

Join the National Center for Employee Ownership’s expert-packed panel on to learn why this is happening now, what this means for you, and what to expect in the future.
