Colorado Employee Ownership Commission
The Colorado Employee Ownership Commission was established by Governor Jared Polis through an executive order in April 2019 to support the Employee Ownership Office. The commission was created to further the mission of employee ownership across the state and make employee ownership more accessible to business owners.
The commission is tasked with:
- Establishing a wide-reaching network of technical support for businesses wanting to become employee-owned
- Educating businesses and communities on the benefits of becoming employee-owned businesses
- Identifying and removing any barriers to the development and advancement of employee-owned businesses
