I am so proud of Hilary Abell, my co-founder at Project Equity, for becoming the Chief of Division of Employee Ownership at the Department of Labor. This is a new position in a first-ever division of employee ownership at the DOL that was created by the WORK Act. I can't think of a better person to be in this leadership position within the federal government! According to the DOL: https://lnkd.in/gQwhUgCe The division will support the creation and expansion of worker-owned businesses by: - Supporting existing programs designed to promote employee ownership and facilitating the formation of new programs. - Developing a clearinghouse of techniques applied by new and existing state programs and sharing information about these techniques with states. - Providing education, outreach, and training to inform employees and employers about the possibilities and benefits of worker ownership and business ownership succession planning. - Providing technical assistance for employee’s efforts to become business owners and helping employers and employees explore the feasibility of transferring full or partial ownership to employees. So thrilled that this effort has Hilary's leadership!!!
A critical and key appointment! So excited for Hilary and thankful for both of your leadership in continuing to move EO forward.
