Women helped build our credit union from the very beginning and continue to be a driving force
behind our growth and success.”

— Sean Rathjen, CEO

LAKE FOREST, IL, UNITED STATES, October 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Consumers Credit Union 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:

• Great Place To Work Certified™ – 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026
• Fortune Best Workplaces in Chicago™ – 2024, 2025 and 2026
• Fortune Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance™ – 2024, 2025 and 2026
• Fortune Best Medium Workplaces™ – 2025 and 2026
