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.

MSBA: No Stearns in Proposed West Pittsfield School
During the School Building Needs Commission meeting on Monday, the owner's project managers, Skanska, reported that the Massachusetts School Building Authority would not fund a three-school project.
Stearns Elementary School had been included in the feasibility study to see if Crosby Elementary, Conte Community School, and Stearns Elementary could all be located at 517 West St. All three school locations listed in the feasibility study had to be considered; Conte has several site challenges.
Project designers TSKP reviewed 12 different school options, and it was relayed that only the rebuilds of Crosby and Conte could be fully funded. Pittsfield would have to pay for Stearns.
"I also think it's important to look at long-term and affordability, and if we choose to keep Stearns in, we're going to make the decision to keep PHS out," Mayor Peter Marchetti said.
