MIDDLETOWN, Penn.–A new Pennsylvania Sister Society of the Global Women’s Leadership Network has been created.
The group of approximately 60 recently held their first meeting at the Vineyard at Hershey here.
“Having a support system for women in credit unions is crucial to driving the entire movement forward,” says Lori Gall, co-chair of the Pennsylvania Sister Society and SVP of administration for Mid-Atlantic Corporate. “We created the Sister Society so we can assist and motivate one another to achieve great success in each of our credit unions.”
Amey Sgrignoli, co-chair of the Pennsylvania Sister Society and CEO of Belco Community Credit Union, agreed, saying, “We want to unite credit union women in the Mid-Atlantic region to exchange ideas, discuss leadership development, and network with area leaders. Our goal is to keep improving and making strides toward collaboration.”
The inaugural meeting included a presentation titled “Embrace Your Roots” by Beth Zuehlke, president of Safe Bridge Solutions. Participants also engaged in a networking lunch and a discussion on future activities.
The Global Women’s Leadership Network is an initiative of the World Council of Credit Unions.
