What is Stewards Circle?

A dedicated space to strengthen your leadership, your company, and your approach to employee ownership.

Stewards Circle is a collaborative space for leaders shaping the next chapter of employee ownership. Hosted by Common Trust, this annual event brings together experienced EOT operators, transition-ready leaders, and those exploring shared ownership for grounded conversations, real examples, and a supportive community.

Together, we deepen the practice of employee ownership — strengthening the movement and laying the groundwork for shared ownership to become the norm, not the exception.

Why attend Stewards Circle 2026?

A growing movement. A deeper commitment. A shared future.

Hosted in partnership with Ocaquatics at their Miami campus, this year’s gathering focuses on the leadership, governance, and cultural practices that help employee-owned companies thrive. It’s a chance for operators, founders, and advisors to learn from peers, gain practical insight, and reflect on their long-term path in employee ownership.

Expert-led conversations

Hear from leaders on the realities of ownership culture, governance, and long-term stewardship.

Practical, actionable insight

Connect with a growing network of people dedicated to building and sustaining broad-based ownership.

Peer learning, shared practice

Join small-group discussions where founders and operators share real examples and practical lessons.

A growing EO community

Walk away with grounded ideas you can bring back to your team — at any stage of the EO journey.
