Through speaking engagements, seminars, webinars, and social media marketing campaigns, State Centers are the hub for unbiased outreach and education on the concept and benefits of employee ownership as a succession planning or business growth tool for a vast array of different individuals and organizations

Once one of the individuals/organizations becomes interested in receiving more detailed information regarding the process for transferring ownership of all or part of a company to its employees, State Centers act as a hub for the resources available to those individuals. Included in the resources available are a list of vetted local advisors with expertise in different areas of the employee ownership process, and former owners and current leaders of employee-owned companies who have gone through the process of transferring to an employee ownership model.
