Purchasing Preferences and Employee Ownership: Project Update
Executive Director
In November, the NCEO began gathering information on various preference standards, such as certifications as for small businesses or as women-, minority-, or veteran-owned businesses, with a focus on how and whether those standards consider employee ownership. Thank you to the 30 companies that have participated!
We still welcome your input, and we are interested in hearing of your successful and unsuccessful experiences with any of the organizations, from quasi-governmental organizations to nonprofits to large corporations, that provide different types of certification. Help us determine how these various rules affect employee ownership companies by taking this two-minute, five-question survey.
Later this year, look for the output from this project, which will include a catalog of the various standards and documentation of their relevance to employee-owned companies.
