Join the Urban Institute for a conversation about how local governments can help employees and owners transition firms to employee ownership. The event will convene experts in the worker cooperative space to discuss New York City’s Employee Ownership NYC initiative, its reproducibility in other local contexts, and best practices for how local governments can support employee ownership.
The event accompanies five briefs produced by the Urban Institute that document the design and implementation of Employee Ownership NYC within New York City’s small business ecosystem.
