NCEO Member Benefits
The NCEO, which is widely recognized as "the single best source of information on employee ownership anywhere in the world" (Inc. magazine, August 2000), has thousands of members, ranging from employee-owned companies to consultants to individuals. Aside from supporting our work promoting employee ownership, NCEO members receive five key benefits:Newsletter
Our 16-page newsletter, the Employee Ownership Report, appears every two months. By far the most informative newsletter in the field, it contains news on legal, regulatory, and financial developments; ideas, tips, and reports on management practices in employee ownership firms; technical articles by employee ownership experts; research and case studies; a one-page pullout for rank-and-file employees; and company, media, and resource information. Many of the articles on this site are drawn from past issues of the newsletter.Access to the Members Area
The members area of this site features a searchable database of over 200 consultants in employee ownership and participation; a guide to choosing consultants; a searchable archive of past NCEO newsletters; a stock plan glossary; a discussion forum; a directory of case studies classified by date, company size, type of plan, etc.; and more.Free Live Webinars and Conference Calls
Members receive free access to live Webinars (online seminars), mostly on a variety of ESOP-related subjects such as ESOP feasibility, issues for S corporation ESOPs, handling the ESOP repurchase obligation, using ESOPs for acquisitions, communicating the ESOP to employees, the 409A deferred compensation rules, and getting employees involved. Members also receive free access to our conference calls on equity compensation topics.Discounts on NCEO Publications, Meetings, and Other Items
NCEO's many publications cover all aspects of employee ownership. Our annual conference is a three-day event bringing together all parts of the employee ownership community. We hold many ESOP workshops and other meetings throughout the year. Members receive large discounts, e.g., paying $25 instead of $35 for a book or $95 instead of $130 for a meeting. Members receive discounts on other things as well, such as survey results or training courses.Individual Consultations
Members can call or email us anytime for general advice or to get questions answered. This is an invaluable service and helps both companies and consultants avoid costly mistakes. On a fee basis, NCEO executive director Corey Rosen will meet with managers or employees to provide an overview of employee ownership.Click here to join the NCEO as a member
