Summit Bank has been named a Best Place for Working Parents by Lane County, earning recognition for supporting working families through progressive workplace policies and a strong culture of flexibility and care.
The designation highlights businesses that implement evidence-based practices that improve retention, productivity, and employee satisfaction. Employers are evaluated on ten key policies, including parental leave, flexible schedules, and childcare support. The program, supported locally by the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce, is part of a growing national effort to spotlight workplaces that invest in working parents.
“Our employees are the foundation of our success,” said Michaela Marcotte, Vice President, HR Director for Summit Bank. “Creating an environment where they can thrive professionally and personally is one of our top priorities.”
Summit Bank continues to receive statewide recognition for its workplace culture. Earlier this year, it ranked #19 on Oregon Business Magazine’s 2025 list of the “Top 100 Best Companies to Work for in Oregon,” making it the highest-ranked Oregon-headquartered bank on the list.
