Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I’m excited to share that the Missouri Center for Employee Ownership (MOCEO) website is now available in Spanish! This is an important step in our ongoing commitment to making employee ownership resources more accessible to the diverse communities we serve.

Visitors can now easily translate the website by clicking the language tab in the bottom-right corner of the page and switching from English to Spanish. We hope this new feature helps more business owners, employees, and community partners connect with the tools and information they need to explore employee ownership opportunities.

As we continue improving accessibility, I would love to hear your feedback about the translation quality and your experience using the feature — including what works well and any challenges you encounter.

Tu socio en apoyar comunidades exitosas para propietarios de negocios y empleados

Sincerely,

Julie Leonhardt
