In its “Women in the Workplace” report, which surveyed 22,000 women and 18,000 men, Lean In and McKinsey & Co. found that it’s increasingly important to women that they work for companies that prioritize career advancement, flexibility, employee well-being as well as diversity, equity and inclusion — and they’re leaving their companies in unprecedented numbers when these needs aren’t met.

AMBASSADOR SPOTLIGHT
My name is Rachel McDonald and I have been with the Walker County Federal Credit Union for four years in January. This is my first year as an Ambassador and I am a graduate of HLI Class 40. I love spending time camping, hunting, and fishing but most of all I love time spent with my family.
It is important for me to be an ambassador for the connection with Members of the local Community and developing positive relationships. I feel “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”
