Williamstown - Corey Rosen, co-founder and executive director of the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) in Oakland, Calif., will deliver a lecture titled "Employee Ownership: A Better Way to Run a Business?" sponsored by the W. Ford Schumann '50 Program in Democratic Studies.
His talk will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 4 p.m. in Wege Auditorium on the Williams College campus, followed by a reception and screening of a documentary film about Marland Mold, a local employee-owned company.
Rosen, who co-founded the NCEO in 1981, is generally considered as the world's leading expert in employee ownership, which he advocates as the foundation for a new, more effective model of management, allowing firms to grow faster and more profitably than conventionally run competitors.
Rosen is the author or co-author of five books on employee ownership; his most recent is "Equity: Why Employee Ownership is Good for Business." Over the years, he has written, edited, or contributed to dozens of books, articles, and research papers on employee ownership. He has appeared frequently on CNN, PBS, NPR, and other network programs, and is regularly quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and other leading publications.
Rosen received his Ph.D. in political science from Cornell University in 1973. Prior to the NCEO, Rosen taught politics at Ripon College, Wis., and spent five years as a professional staff member in the U.S. Senate, where he helped draft legislation governing employee ownership.

Dalton Division Road Project in Pre-25 Percent Design Stage
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The town's engineers say there is still time to work through the Dalton Division Road project’s design and permitting process.
In December, the Select Board voted to advocate for Concept A, which would have sidewalks on both sides, a 5-foot bike lane in the road on both sides with a buffer, and a 2-foot painted buffer between the vehicle lane and in the bike lane. They also recommended the two-way stop control option.
The original vote would have been the most expensive and "certainly not" the engineer or the state's "preferred design," Town Manager Thomas Hutcheson said during a meeting in November.
During last week's Select Board meeting, Fuss & O'Neil project manager and senior traffic engineer Steve Savaria represented the options, explained potential obstacles, and demonstrated the next steps. Present board members have yet to vote on their final choice.
The project is still in the pre-25 percent design stage and is currently on the fiscal year 2029 Transportation Improvement Program list, so there is "plenty of time" to work out the details.
Since the original vote, some board members have shifted their opinion toward advocating for the most feasible and timely option with a "path of least resistance to get this project done."
