      <image:title>Blog - 2025 Vermont Employee Ownership Conference - What does Employee Ownership mean to you?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the question Jesse Tyler of Hypertherm posed to our 250 attendees during the keynote panel at our 23rd Annual conference. In the photo here, Mellisa Cain of Iceberg Consulting records highlights of the morning discussion, pulling the common themes up above the surface and illustrating why Employee Ownership matters, not just at the scale of the economy, but at the level of the individual.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 2025 Vermont Employee Ownership Conference - Belonging. Mission. Community. Empowerment. These themes and others needled a thread from the plenary through the day’s 25 breakout sessions, encouraging and energizing the amazing community that accomplishes so much for Vermont through their dedication to shared ownership.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here’s what some attendees have said about the event: “This is a super valuable conference for our organization, and we plan to send more people next year!” “The conference was well organized and is specifically a great resource for those just starting out.” “I came away feeling like our decision to become and ESOP was the right one, and that VEOC is a great resource.” “There was something very special about the gathering, the way that people moved through the day, the conversations and the personal, professional interest expressed.”</image:caption>
