One of the main points of our organizational structure is that we are an employee owned business.  We operate as an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) and practice open book management.  Ownership privileges are granted at an employee's one year anniversary.  Along with the financial benefits of employee ownership program comes the cultural foundation of our company, which is highly family and community oriented.  Here is a brief description of how our company management is structured:

• Board of Directors - Our BOD is made up of two internal NBB folks (our CEO and CFO) and 3 external members
• Compass Management Group - Compass is our Senior management group. This group consists of managers that represent each area of the brewery (HR, Sales, Branding, Production, Engineering, Finance, Sustainability, Supply Chain and IT)
• Departmental Managers - we have about 20 different departments at NBB and a manager or two to manage the business and co-workers of the department.
• Individual Contributors - These are our lovely co-workers that work in our various departments. Anyone that is not at a manager level is considered and individual contributor.
