Event Description: With the California Employee Ownership Act recently passed and pro-ESOP legislation in place, ESOPs are primed to pave the way for other western states to follow suit. Even the U.S. Department of Labor launched the Employee Ownership Initiative within its Employee Benefits Security Administration that will support the creation and expansion of worker-owned businesses. Whether an s-corp or c-corp, government regulation affects every aspect of your ESOP structure. Communicating your needs and concerns to your elected officials can seem intimidating to employee owners who have little or no experience in the government area. In this discussion, we will explore relatively easy ways to make your voices heard in the halls of congress. This session will also provide tools and resources for fostering dynamic workplace cultures that attract and retain top talent as well as discussion around developing strategies to build a pro-ESOP community within and around the western states.
