Welcome Back!
One Thingย
NCEOโs new book on employee ownership trusts is out! Get your copy here.
What Weโve Been Writingย
Not a thing. Weโve been convening instead. Watch this space!
What Weโve Been Reading
Not much (see above), but hereโs an ImpactAlpha article on employee leveraged buyouts and employe ownership trusts.
Illinois is one step closer to passing legislation enabling virtuous trusts, their version of Oregonโs stewardship trusts, which legally power employee ownership trusts and perpetual purpose trusts, which might perhaps be called employee-centered trusts and purpose-centered trusts, or maybe business purpose trusts. Clear as mud, as my dad would say?
Whatโs Nextย
The Ohio Center for Employee Ownership hosts its 38th (!) conference next week.
NCEOโs next EOT Peer Gathering is May 8th.
In Case You Missed Itย
We still think our Rethinking Ownership: Putting Purpose at the Center article in the Harvard Social Impact Review is worth a read, even if it has one tiny typo.
We recently came across this Fieldfisher article about what may have been the first EOT in the US, in 2014.
