In a field as large and complex as this, the education and support you will receive from your NCEO membership—from our newsletter, books, meetings, assistance from NCEO staff, discussion forum, and more—will be vital. Our resources can and will help you at any point, whether you are deciding whether to install a plan in the first place or addressing a situation with an established plan. Corey Rosen, our cofounder and senior staff member, has written an essay that explains this: Why You Should Join the NCEO.
Who Should Join
Anyone who deals with employee stock plans and participation at any stage of the process should join the NCEO:- Companies that are considering a plan, implementing a plan, or working with an existing plan. Your membership benefits (such as discounts on books and seminars, access to the members-only area of the Web site, and ability to contact us with questions) will extend to everyone else at the company.
- Service providers in relevant fields (attorneys, accountants, appraisers, investment advisors, brokerage firms, administrators, software providers, trustee and fiduciary service providers, communication and education advisors, general consultants, etc.). A regular membership will be individual to you. However, if you join as a Referral Service member, your membership benefits (such as discounts on books and seminars, access to the members-only area of the Web site, and ability to contact us with questions) are will extend to everyone else at your office (but not other locations).
- Academics and other individuals who are interested in this field.
