Mankato, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2015 -- A company interested in establishing an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) has a wide range of options in tailoring a plan that is best suited to its particular needs and goals. A large, publicly traded company, for example, would handle the creation of its ESOP somewhat differently than would a smaller firm. In general ESOPs are better communication companies because of the focus of ownership culture.

Topics included at The ESOP Association Conference:

- Initial ESOP Communications
- Communications in a Mature ESOP Company
- ESOP Communication Committee Workshop
- Learning to Lead when Employees are Owners
- Every Superhero Needs a Cape: How to arm every employee with the tools to make your ESOP culture great.
