The VEOC is offering an intermediate-level workshop entitled “Employee Ownership for Small Companies” on October 15, 2010 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Marlboro College Graduate Center in downtown Brattleboro.
The workshop will explore different models of employee ownership – including worker cooperatives – for companies that may be too small for an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). It’s primarily designed for companies with roughly 20 or fewer employees, though some of the ownership models can be applied to larger companies as well.

“Employee ownership can be a great option for small business owners who are nearing retirement, but it can also be a way for owners to share equity with employees while continuing to stay on in the business,” says Ursula Jones, Marketing and Communications Manager for the Vermont Employee Ownership Center. “This workshop will examine the different ways that small companies can transition to an employee-ownership structure.”
The workshop is co-sponsored by the Vermont Small Business Development Center, and the Marlboro College MBA in Managing for Sustainability. There is no registration fee, but advance registration is required. Please register below.Co-Sponsored in part by:
