Fortune Media and Great Place To Work Name Consumers Credit Union to Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™ List for Second Consecutive Year

Lake Forest, Ill. – Consumers Credit Union (CCU; $4.6 billion, Lake Forest, Ill.) announced today that it has been named to the Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™ list for the second consecutive year, earning recognition in the small and medium category. The Best Workplaces for Women list spotlights organizations that create positive, engaging and inclusive environments while fostering exceptional workplace cultures and high levels of employee satisfaction. “Being named a Best Workplace for Women is particularly meaningful for us because it reflects our commitment to diversity and inclusion,” said Sean Rathjen, CCU's chief executive officer. “Women helped build our credit union from the very beginning and continue to be a driving force behind our growth and success.” CCU’s story began in 1910, when a group of immigrant women banded together to help make food more affordable for their families. Faced with rising milk prices, they formed a buying club to purchase directly from farmers. That venture grew into a thriving co-op and ultimately led to the founding of Consumers Credit Union in 1930.

CCU is also Great Place To Work Certified™ and has received numerous workplace recognitions, including:

Founded in 1930 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Ill., Consumers Credit Union has $4.6 billion in assets and serves more than 290,000 members. It is Illinois’ fifth-largest credit union by assets and has the state’s largest branch network. CCU believes that nobody needs banks on every corner, but everyone needs people who are in their corner. To learn more about CCU’s products, services and membership, visit myconsumers.org.
