Last year, INEO worked with the Indiana Governor’s office and the Indianapolis Mayor’s office to issue proclamations in support of designating October Employee Ownership Month. This week we have initiated discussions with both the Governor’s and Mayor’s offices to ask for a similar proclamation in 2019.
BUT I need your help as I would love to have multiple Mayors’ of Indiana cities come out in support of employee ownership within their community. If you are interested and willing to reach out to your Mayor’s office to ask for a proclamation please contact me and I will be happy to provide you with updated 2019 data to make your job easy! The 2018 Mayor Hogsett’s proclamation is available here.
Potential cities of 3 or more ESOPs in Indiana include:
| City | # of ESOPs |
| Chesterton | 3 |
| Elkhart | 3 |
| Evansville | 6 |
| Goshen | 3 |
| Hammond | 3 |
| Lafayette | 4 |
| Merrillville | 5 |
| Muncie | 4 |
| Richmond | 3 |
| Terre Haute | 3 |
| Vincennes | 3 |
| Warsaw | 3 |
Note: Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and South Bend have been spoken for.
If you are interested in helping please let me know! – Rick
