Virginia Beach, Va. (Sept. 24, 2026) – Chartway Credit Union has been recognized as a recipient of the 2026 Best Places to Work for Women Award, presented by Best Companies Group in partnership with BridgeTower Media. Best Companies Group is an independent research firm that surveys companies to provide valuable feedback on recruitment and retention.
“This recognition reflects the culture our team members create every day,” said Rebecca Riordan, chief people and culture officer at Chartway credit Union. “Receiving this award is an honor, it reinforces our commitment to fostering a workplace where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to grow.”
Best Places to Work for Women is a survey-based recognition that awards the top companies for women in the workforce across the United States. Eligible companies launched a survey process with Best Companies Group in the last year. Survey data was analyzed and compared across all participants, with a focus on the experiences of women within each company’s workforce. Winners were selected based on this comparative analysis.
“The Best Places to Work for Women winners demonstrate leadership in equity, opportunity and retention,” said Jaime Raul Zepeda, executive vice president of Best Companies Group + COLOR Magazine. “These workplaces excel in creating environments where women employees thrive. At Best Companies Group, we are pleased to certify this honor that recognizes employers who know, recognize and appreciate their female talent. Congratulations to all the winners.”
Through the Best Companies Group program this year, Chartway was also recognized in American Banker as one of the Best Credit Unions to Work For nationally for the sixth consecutive year, a Best Place to Work in Utah for the third year in a row, and one of Virginia’s Best Places to Work for the second year running. Chartway serves more than 265,000 members through a growing branch network across Texas, Utah, and southern Virginia.
