The ESOP Association Announces
2012 Silver ESOP Award Recipients
The ESOP Association has presented 49 corporate members of the Association with a Silver ESOP Award to recognize their work in sustaining their ESOP for 25 years or more. This is the fifth year the Silver ESOP Awards have been presented by the Association. In 2008, To be named a Silver ESOP Award recipient, a company must be a member of The ESOP Association and have an ESOP in place for 25 years.
“It is my pleasure to present these 49 companies with the 2012 Silver ESOP Award for excellence in sustaining their ESOP for 25 plus years,” said ESOP Association President J. Michael Keeling. “As recent research has shown, employees with employee stock ownership have more sustainable employment and were four times less likely to be laid off during the Great Recession than employees without employee stock ownership. Preserving locally-controlled jobs in today’s global economy is more likely when employees are owners.”
