Gov. Jared Polis signed an executive order to establish a commission to research and support employee-owned businesses. The commission’s main focus will be to provide technical support for business owners to understand and convert to an employee-owned model. In employee-owned businesses, known as cooperatives or co-ops, workers can have voting rights in company decisions and can benefit from profit-sharing.

A record number of small business owners are reaching retirement age and when no clear successor is ready to take the helm, shifting to employee-ownership can be an alternative to keep businesses running. Small businesses are a large part of the Colorado economy, employing more than a million Coloradans.

Colorado has long been a hub for cooperatives, The Denver Post previously reported. Many rural and agriculture supply companies were established as cooperatives along with some banks and electric companies.

Polis has been a longtime supporter of employee-ownership. As a congressman, he was a member of the Congressional Cooperative Business Caucus and penned an opinion piece in a local newspaper in support of cooperatives.

“Increasing employee ownership will help support a strong economy and promote job security in communities across the state,” Polis said in the release. “Supporting employee ownership has been a top goal and now we are taking the necessary steps to make it a reality.”

Since its founding in 1887, the Boone and Crockett Club’s history has exemplified leadership…that of developing, enhancing, and promoting America’s wildlife conservation movement.

Since its founding in 1887, the Boone and Crockett Club’s history has exemplified leadership…that of developing, enhancing, and promoting America’s wildlife conservation movement. The Boone and Crockett Club was the first private organization to provide leadership in identifying and resolving conservation issues of national scope. The Club’s influence has proven far in excess of any ordinary organization of its size. Over the past 118 years, Club members have helped to set aside more land, created more conservation organizations, and initiated more legislation and programs for the benefit of wildlife than any other institution.

The Boone and Crockett Club’s leadership vision in conservation of wildlife and wild places over the past century closely follows that of our founder, Theodore Roosevelt. Our path has always been a thoughtful course ranging between preservation and sustainable use of our natural resources. The leadership of individual Club members has defined our legacy and established the rules for hunting and conservation for more than a century. Weniger anzeigen
