  Meeting the Challenges of Governing the Employee Stock-Owned Company
  
  
  The MN Chapter of the National Association of Corporate Directors will host a panel on “Meeting the Challenges of Governing the Employee Stock-Owned Company". Employee-owned (ESOP) companies present special governance challenges for directors. While this ownership structure can provide “the best of all worlds” -- incentives for employee loyalty, patient capital for the business and liquidity for departing founders, effective board governance requires a team with special skills. Gaining sufficiently independent perspective, excellent chemistry between “inside” and “outside” directors, and proactive board attention to strategy require deliberate planning, leadership and ongoing evaluation of board performance. This program will be of special interest to private company directors, employee-shareholders, entrepreneur/owners who are considering an ESOP for their company and corporate executives or professionals who would like to join the board of an ESOP company. Our panel of experienced directors will share their perspectives on the special problems and essential steps for building a great ESOP board.
