Special Presentation: Succession Planning and Employee Ownership

Thanks to Project Equity’s Emily Bergstrom for seeding last week’s discussion on helping communities build trust with manufacturers so they consider alternatives to selling off and/or closing their manufacturing operations. We have tens of thousands of small manufacturers in key supply chains owned by people near the end of their careers, most of whom are unaware of attractive employee ownership alternatives. Let’s fix that! Read this Silver Tsunami of Aging Manufacturing Owners report and get the word out to those manufacturers!
