This is the second in our series and the topic will be\u00a0Employee Ownership Options for Succession Planning with Guest Speaker\u00a0Luke Hoffman<\/a>\u00a0Director of Programs with the\u00a0North Carolina Employee Ownership Center (NCEOC), which is the event sponsor.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmployee ownership is a succession planning tool that keeps businesses open and locally owned long-term, while providing employees with a powerful wealth-building tool: ownership in a thriving business. Research shows that employee-owned companies have increased employee recruitment and retention and perform better overall. This session will cover the 3 primary forms of employee ownership: Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), Worker Cooperatives, and Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
