In every realm there comes a time of transition, change, and celebration. This April, Corey Rosen the founder and Executive Director of the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) will take a new role within the NCEO. He will step down as Executive Director and become a senior staff member. The new Executive Director will be Loren Rodgers, a long time supporter of employee ownership and a current staff member of the NCEO.
For over the past 30 years Corey has researched the impact of employee ownership and has advised thousands of individuals in their quest of employee ownership and being the best. Corey's impact is both deep and wide within the employee ownership world.
To honor Corey's work, Bill Marshall the CEO of Phelps County Bank in Rolla, MO, initiated ROOF - Rosen Ownership Opportunities Fund. It is a fund created to honor the work of Corey Rosen and support the future of employee ownership. It is not an endowment - it is a one time event. A collaboration of employee ownership organizations are members of the advisory committee that will help give direction on the best way to use these funds to support employee ownership.
I encourage you to go to the ROOF website and watch/listen to the Bill Marshall video and the story behind the ROOF fund. The website gives more detail on the what, why, and how of the ROOF fund, as well as those who have shown their support already.
