MY TURN: Employee ownership helps sustain Vermont's economy is an opinion piece that tells how employee ownership is good for Vermont:

• Good for communities
  
• Good for business
  
• Good for selling owners
  
• Good for employees

The editorial also recommends that employee ownership be considered several times throughout the life of a company:

"While employee ownership will not suit every situation, it is an option that should at least be considered at several points in the life of a company: when a retiring owner needs to be bought out, when financing is needed for expansion, when there is a need to engage employees more fully in their work, as well as at start-up or in the very early stages of a company's growth."
