Start an ERN®

Be a pioneer for company, employee & community change. 

We invite county-level, regional and multi-state projects to work with us in blending the efforts of business and social service. Develop and launch an ERN across your company's locations or join with a group of companies. Economic development teams can work to pull business investment together with leveraged funds to impact communities.

Customized Solutions
We develop retention solutions for single companies, groups of companies, micro companies, and fiduciary organizations from Manufacturing, Healthcare, Service, Hospitality, and Education industries. Companies range from 75-3,000 employees with the ability to target departments and locations. 

Business and Community 
For-profit companies and nonprofits serve as employer member, ERN administrator member, or both depending on Single, Multi, or Micro ERN structure needs. Regardless of structure or administrator, employers benefit from community partnerships and resources leveraged through ERN collaboration.
