Savvy business owners are increasingly discovering the unique advantages of using an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as a business succession strategy. ESOPs allow business owners to receive ?fair market value? from the sale of their ownership in a tax-advantaged sale, while at the same time protecting the company?s legacy as independent business. In addition, an ESOP provides important financial benefits and other competitive advantages to the sponsoring company, allows its employees to receive the financial rewards of ownership, while at the same time providing an attractive business succession plan for selling shareholders.

Leadership – What’s Changed and Why It Matters
It would not be a leadership discussion without discussing the massive change we have experienced recently. In order to be effective leaders, we must understand the factors and trends that impact the people we lead in order to best serve their needs and the needs of the business. This creates a common sense of why leadership matters in the first place by answering the question – “what problems should we as leaders be trying to solve?”
Objectives: In this session, we will look at data and trends and hear from our fellow professionals the challenges that we all face and why leadership can help us solve them.
