Overview
The Georgia Center for Employee Ownership Center (GACEO) is a nonprofit organization that serves as the central hub for resources on all forms of employee-ownership available to selling business owners in Georgia. Its primary mission is to educate business owners, their advisors (lawyers, bankers, accountants, wealth advisors), and community leaders on the social and business benefits of employee ownership.
GACEO educates the public about employee ownership through events, resources, case studies, and connections to service providers who can assist with employee ownership transitions. GACEO serves the entire state of Georgia, with a particular focus on outreach to minority-owned businesses and companies located in lower-income regions. Our overarching goal is to create broad-based community wealth by increasing the number of employee-owned businesses in Georgia.
GACEO was founded in November 2019 by a group of volunteers and is now seeking a part-time Interim Launch Manager to move it to the next level. The Interim Launch Manager position is currently a 6-month funded position.
