Does your company have Web design expertise? Might you be interested donating some time to promote employee ownership around the world? From Australia and South Africa to the United Kingdom and the European Union, employee ownership is emerging as a rediscovered tool of national policy.
Thanks to the good efforts of NCEO board member Dan Walter of Performensation Consulting, there is now a lively and fast-growing employee ownership network on LinkedIn, the NCEO Employee Stock Ownership Network.
The NCEO signed a letter to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) (PDF) in collaboration with the ESOP Association and Employee-Owned S Corporations of America.
The NCEO will sponsor A Forum for Private Companies on October 27, 2011 in Palo Alto, CA. The forum is an E*TRADE Directions Event, featuring expert-led sessions on trends and risks facing fast-growing private companies.
The fifth annual Ownership Thinking conference will take place on September 22 and 23 in the Denver, Colorado, area. The NCEO is again happy to sponsor this event and recommends it as a way for companies to learn how to build strong ownership culture with actively engaged entrepreneurs.
As it has in the past three years, the NCEO will sponsor the 4th annual Ownership Thinking Conference, to be held in the Denver area on September 16 and 17.
In a just-completed NCEO survey of 117 companies, 66% said they will not discontinue their ESPPs in light of new accounting rules, while only 6.5% have decided to do so.
NCEO members in good standing will receive an email invitation to the ballot for our 2014 election for the board of directors. The election will run through February 5, and the new directors will begin their terms during the annual conference.
As I wrote in a blog post from July 30, the Ohio Employee Ownership Center's conference is just around the corner. The event, scheduled for Thursday, August 20, from 8:30 a.m.
