How can employee ownership create quality job opportunities, enrich social capital, and build community wealth through local and broad based ownership? Where can individuals and entrepreneurs turn if they are interested in pursuing a cooperative business model?

Featuring speakers from the Tennessee Center for Employee Ownership, the Industrial Commons, Cooperate Western North Carolina, and more, and hosted by Appalachian Opportunity Fund and the STRONG Accountable Care Community, the Building Community Wealth Through Employee Ownership symposium will provide insightful information about how employee ownership can fuel economic and community growth in Appalachia.

The event will take place in-person at the Langston Centre in Johnson City, TN.
