One driver, with 30+ years at Parksite, has a substantial retirement fund as a result of our ESOP. And he's not alone. About 14 million Americans are in ESOPs, which hold about $1.4 trillion in equity. Companies are more successful with an ESOP than they would be without one. They grow faster, they're more innovative, and they make more money. Everyone wins, including the communities and customers we serve. But not everyone knows how ESOPs work. So with October being "Employee-Ownership Month," we're devoting four episodes to ESOPs. In this episode, we start from the beginning and learn "ESOP 101" from Parksite CEO Ron Heitzman and our Vice President of Human Resources Chris Swenson. In the coming weeks, we'll continue our series where you'll learn about our lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill to protect ESOPs, get a Board member's perspective, and learn why ESOPs matter.

In this mini-series of eight episodes, we bring our employee owners to IBS to experience the energy, excitement and relevance of what we do everyday. This series is meant to explain the what and why of IBS - (1) what the show provides from the latest in products, innovations, design trends and education and (2) why we invest time and money and why a builder attends. We will get the inside story from our associates, suppliers, advisors, educators, and key clients. Some additional background on IBS: - The NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS) is organized, produced, and managed exclusively by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). - NAHB is a Washington, DC-based trade association whose mission is to enhance the climate for housing and the building industry. Founded in 1942, NAHB serves the needs of more than 140,000 members, who include home builders, re-modelers and suppliers of building materials, as well as professionals in new home financing, sales and marketing, and building products and services. - Parksite has been involved with NAHB since the late 70s early 80’s when Tyvek was just coming to market. - IBS is organized by NAHB and is the largest light construction building industry trade show in the United States. It is the only event of its kind, focusing specifically on the needs, concerns, and opportunities that face home builders. First show in 1944, became the International Show in 1998. - From its early start, the show has grown to attract more than 100,000 attendees, making it one of the largest conventions in the country. As such, the show has alternated its location since 2003 between the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida and the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada (two of the United States' largest convention centers). - Since 2014, the International Builders' Show has been co-located with the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), with the combined shows branded as Design & Construction Week.
