October is Employee Ownership Month!
Because Wright Service Corp. is an employee-owned company through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), we’re going to celebrate and use this as an opportunity to further educate our employees about being an employee-owned company!
This will be our ninth annual Employee Ownership Month, and there’s even more to look forward to this year. Whether you’re a current participant in the ESOP or not, everyone is encouraged to participate. We hope it’s a month of fun and learning that allows you to gain a deeper appreciation for what it means to be an employee-owner!
You will receive calendar appointments with details for various events.
Events at a Glance
We have a number of activities and contests you can participate in. Each contest will have a specified deadline. Voting and judging will take place following the deadline. Winners will be announced in November. Don’t forget, there are a number of prizes at stake!

Corporate Office Only – Wright Service Corp. is partnering with the ESOP Association to help raise some money for the Employee Ownership Foundation via the ESOPATHON. The ESOPATHON is a month-long, activity-based, nationwide fundraising drive with the goal of raising one million dollars to support new and forward-leaning programming at the Employee Ownership Foundation.
Please follow the link here to set up your page and record your activity. The link should automatically ask you to “Join our Team” and any activity you record, or money you donate, will go towards our team goal. This is also open to your families as well, so if you go on a family bike, all your miles will count!
