Foundation for Enterprise Development Sponsors Essay Contest on Employee Ownership
NCEO founder and senior staff member
The Foundation for Enterprise Development (FED) has created a national program titled "Creating Wealth by Sharing WealthTM," open to graduate and undergraduate students. The purpose of the student essay contest is to foster creative thinking among college students about sustainable growth of 21st-century companies.
Participating professors will receive complimentary copies of a business book for each student in their class. The professor will invite the students to voluntarily submit an essay based on one of the contest questions using the book as a resource. Every student would keep the book whether she or he participates or not. There will be modest prizes for winners. For professors who want to participate, go to this link for details. All notifications of university participation should be in by April. A recognition ceremony at a major ownership-related conference is planned for spring 2011. If a professor is interested or has any questions, he/she can contact me or Wai-Lean Roos at [email protected], or call her at (858) 754-3559.
