Gender roles in bank leadership have traditionally been dominated by men, even though nearly half of bank employees are female. Maine banks, including Maine Community Bank, are working to close the gender gap by diversifying their boards of directors and their leadership teams. We are very fortunate to work for a bank that prioritizes gender equality and to have a leader who is one of only two female bank CEOs in the state.
Our President & CEO, Jeanne Hulit, recently spoke with MaineBiz about the importance of diversifying bank boards and leadership in Maine.
