Although we may not feel it in the air , the holiday season is quickly approaching. Before the rush of preparation overcomes us, I’d like to take a moment to look back at the year so far and thank our members and supporters for making it a great one. There were 1,973 of you at our Annual Conference in April, and we’re approaching the 330 mark for our Fall Forum registration. Helping employee ownership thrive is our mission and expertise, and this year, we’re improving our holiday benefit offerings in the form of our Holiday Gift Guide.

We warmly invite you to contribute to the 2023 Holiday Gift Guide as we prepare for the season. For the past few years, the Gift Guide has been an excellent way for us to connect with our member companies who wish to market their products to NCEO.org visitors, including both members and nonmembers. You can check out last year’s Gift Guide here for some examples of the wide range of products we featured.

This year, we aim to have the Gift Guide drive sales to our member companies as an added member benefit. We will submit the Gift Guide to be featured in internet searchable listicles so that as people do their holiday shopping research, they’ll discover our guide and choose to support employee-owned businesses this holiday season.

We would love to add entries from as many member companies as possible. If you’d like to be listed in the Gift Guide and take advantage of this promotional opportunity, please fill out our form here. We can also help you renew your membership—if you need assistance checking your membership status or have any questions about renewing, please contact [email protected].
