A newsworthy highlight of our summer was our participation in transformational events at The Aspen Institute. Headquartered in Washington, D.C. with campuses around the world, the institute is an educational and policy studies organization whose mission is to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues. At the institute’s Economic Security Summit, Project Equity’s Co-founder, Hilary Abell represented our successes in connecting work and wealth through employee ownership.
Our partners at The Industrial Commons were highlighted at The Aspen Ideas Festival and most recently again at the institute’s Rural-Grown, Local-Owned Manufacturing event. The learning, sharing and awareness-raising at these important events, as well as the new connections and friendships, will support us in our work and inspire us to continue to lead!
