International Women's Day

Today, March 8 is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, which is a day globally recognized to celebrate and honor the unique achievements of women. At the Global Women’s Leadership Network breakfast event at CUNA's GAC last week, Rep Jackie Speier, the keynote speaker of the event said, “Boards of directors of companies that have women on them have a 65% higher return on investment capital, while 53% have a higher return on equity and 42% have higher sales than those with fewer women in charge....yet women represent only 15% of the Fortune 500 executives”.
With this in mind, what is your credit union doing this week to recognize the contributions of women staff, members and women in the community?
