Benefits of ESOP Membership
The Illinois Chapter consists of approximately 100 member companies, including firms of all sizes and from many different industries. We also have a group of professionals who are among the industry’s best. We are owners and professionals, manufacturers and service providers, management and hourly. One thing unites us all: We are people who embody employee ownership every day in our work lives. You’ll find us throughout Illinois, from Chicago to downstate regions. Wherever you are in your ownership journey, we can provide you a network of colleagues who have been there before.
