Representative Maggie Jeffus
helped A&A change ESOP legislation in
North Carolina.

by Su Clauson-Wicker
For years, Anderson & Associates employees in North Carolina
lobbied for change in the state law restricting ESOP account ownership primarily to the
engineers and other licensed professional employees. Now, thanks to a lot of hard work by
A&A employees and N.C. legislators and a fortuitous lunch with N.C. Representative
Maggie Jeffus (D-Greensboro), the law has been changed.
A&As efforts
to alter the law began in 1991 when Keith Price and Hugh Stokes asked the N.C. Board of
Registration for assistance on the issue. They also lobbied for their case at the N.C.
Attorney Generals Office and the N.C. General Statutes Commission. But when Michael
Davis and Tina Vaughn invited Rep. Jeffus to lunch in early 1998 to talk about the issue,
the Greensboro office found an ally.
