Andrews FCU Empowers Future Leaders Through Invest in Girls Event

Andrews Federal Credit Union recently hosted a group of career-driven young women for the Invest in Girls Industry/Role Model Exchange program. This event was conducted in partnership with Prince George's County and the Maryland Council on Economic Education.

During the event, a panel of business leaders, including 10 leaders from Andrews Federal, shared their experiences in the workpace and provided advice and guidance for navigating future career planning.

Participants in the program came from Crossland High School, Oxon Hill High School, and Dr. Henry Wise, Jr. High School in Prince George's County. In addition to the role model exchange sessions, the Andrews Federal leadership team shared their expert advice and guidance. The girls heard from Andrews Federal Board Chair Col. (Ret.) Kenneth McKinney about his career experiences in the military and as a civilian, and they also had the opportunity to interact with Andrews Federal President/Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Orgeron and Chief Operating Officer Damita Robinson.

According to credit union leadership, this program continues to be an outstanding opportunity for partnership and for developing future leaders. "At Andrews Federal, we recognize the power of education to build bridges and to create opportunities," said Damita Robinson, Chief Operating Officer for Andrews Federal. "Through Invest in Girls, we provide young women with opportunities to see others in action and to define the next steps needed to reach their desired career goals. The future is bright for these young women, and we're honored to play a part in shaping it."
