What is the ESOP Advisor Hall of Fame?

The ESOP Advisor Hall of Fame is an effort by the membership of ESOPMarketplace.com to establish a comprehensive timeline of ESOP history that acknowledges and celebrates the contributions of those individuals that have played a key role in the development of the understanding and practice of ESOPs.  

The ESOP Advisor Hall of Fame timeline highlights key events such as the publication of seminal texts that developed the idea of employee ownership, important legislation that established rules for employee ownership plans, and ways in which the ESOP community organized and formed bodies to promote ESOPs and disseminate information about the plans.
