Vallen’s VICKIE is an employee resource group whose ultimate goal is to increase the number of professional women employed by, and contributing to the long-term success of, Vallen, while also supporting and encouraging current Vallen women associates to reach higher levels in the organization.
We will accomplish this goal by helping provide an inclusive workplace that encourages women to be recruited by Vallen for professional positions and opportunities. We will provide support for women at Vallen to develop their skills and foster a workplace that retains and promotes women to high levels in the organization.
