Country Bank Named a 2026 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Winner for Woman-Led Leadership

Country Bank is proud to announce that it has been named a 2026 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence winner in the Woman-Led category. Presented by Energage in partnership with Innovation Women, this recognition celebrates organizations led by exceptional women executives who have cultivated outstanding workplace cultures.

The Woman-Led award recognizes organizations whose most senior leader is a woman and whose leadership has helped foster a positive, people-first workplace culture. For Country Bank, this recognition reflects the vision and leadership of President & CEO Mary McGovern, along with the contributions of the bank's many women leaders who help shape an inclusive, supportive environment where employees feel valued, empowered, and encouraged to succeed.

With women leading only 7.5% of banks in the United States, this recognition is particularly meaningful. It reflects Country Bank's commitment to strong, inclusive leadership and the collective efforts of its employees to create a workplace where people can grow, contribute, and make a difference.

"At Country Bank, we believe a strong workplace culture starts with listening to our people, supporting one another, and creating opportunities for everyone to succeed," said Mary McGovern, President & CEO of Country Bank. "I'm incredibly proud of the culture we've built together and grateful to our employees, whose feedback made this recognition possible. While this award highlights women-led leadership, it truly belongs to our entire team."

The Top Workplaces Culture Excellence awards are based on feedback from a research-backed employee engagement survey, making the recognition especially meaningful because it comes directly from employees. The Top Workplaces program, led by Energage, has a 19-year history of recognizing people-first organizations across the country and in more than 60 regional markets.

This latest honor adds to Country Bank's continued recognition as an employer committed to its team and communities. Guided by its mission, "Made to Make a Difference," the bank believes that investing in its team members and fostering a strong workplace culture ultimately makes a difference for its customers and the communities it serves.
