ARCH – Celebrating International Women’s Day Through Its Gender Diverse Executive Team

Leave a comment


It’s important there is a place for strong women in business … Opportunity and success should be based on skills, ability and ambition.


BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. (PRWEB)

“I was looking for a part-time job and a friend referred me here. It wasn’t long before the part-time job evolved into a full-time position, and I had the opportunity to learn to operate a high-tech laser marking system. I didn’t have a technical background and at first, I thought, ‘oh my gosh!’ but as I trained, I gained confidence. I work with great people, in an environment where everyone gets an equal opportunity.” – Susan Mulcahy, Laser Operator and Packaging Specialist – ARCH Cutting Tools – Rhode Island

Research shows that companies with diverse cultures – including women in corporate leadership positions – perform better.

“We find clear evidence that companies with a higher proportion of women in decision-making roles continue to generate higher returns …” according to a 2016 report from Credit Suisse. 1

A Peterson Institute for International Economics study on gender diversity looking at 21,980 firms in 91 countries provided similar results. “A profitable firm at which 30 percent of leaders are women could expect to add more than 1 percentage point to its net margin compared with an otherwise similar firm with no female leaders,” the report notes. 2

According to the book, “A Great Place to Work for All,” by Michael C. Bush, “… many companies, through less than fully fair or welcoming climates for women in the C-suite, are blocking the benefits of female leadership.”

ARCH is a company that is fully invested in a diverse culture that is endorsed and promoted throughout the organization – and it relies on its gender-diverse leadership team to drive its strategy and growth.

Two key members of the ARCH leadership team, Lori Lorant, Vice President – Human Resources and Michelle Connolly, Vice President – Finance share their philosophies, and the corporate philosophy of ARCH in this special International Women’s Day report.

Lorant brought experience, skill and a uniquely inclusive HR philosophy to her role at ARCH.

“I believe that leaders must remain humble and that they must always remain ready to pitch-in, doing whatever is necessary, no matter their title or position,” she said. “I’m fortunate to be with a company that makes that philosophy part of its way of doing business.”

Lorant is an experienced HR professional with a history of success. She is experienced in talent management, employee relations, strategic planning, succession planning, multi-site- and -state HR leadership, due diligence relating to M&A activity, and on-boarding and the integration of employees from new companies.

Similarly, Connolly, who has responsibility for all financial reporting for the company, offers a unique perspective on her role.

“While I’ve had a great deal of success at ARCH, I think my greatest satisfaction is in earning the respect of the people I work with,” she said. “I work with incredibly talented, intelligent people – having their respect, and their support, means we’re all successful.”

Connolly added that learning from her team is important. “I continually learn from the people I work with too. I learn new things, unexpectedly, all the time.”

Part of her work includes due diligence related to ARCH M&A activity. “Given the pace of change and growth at ARCH, it’s impossible to get bored,” Connolly said.

Both executives noted that they are fortunate to work within a corporate culture that is diverse and supportive; and both said that it is gratifying to represent women within their organization, and within the industry overall.

“It hasn’t always been easy,” said Connolly. “I have certainly had some ‘curve balls’ thrown my way, but each one has resulted in a valuable lesson that helped me get where I need to be.”

“It’s important there is a place for strong women in business,” Lorant said. “Opportunity and success should be based on skills, ability and ambition.”

How Can First-Time Car Insurance Buyers Get Affordable Coverage

Leave a comment


News Image

“First-time car insurance buyers can easily find a policy that satisfies their needs and save money in the same time if they follow several money-saving methods”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Purchasing car insurance for the first time can be quite confusing for many drivers. In order to obtain a car policy that can satisfy their needs, first-time car insurance buyers should follow the next tips:


  • Drivers that want to legally drive should first obtain the state’s minimum required car insurance coverage. In certain situations, this coverage is not enough to pay for serious injuries or to pay the damage done to expensive car models.

  • Policyholders that own significant assets, like a house or a second car, should purchase additional liability insurance. Their assets could be a target in a lawsuit if they are found guilty in an at-fault accident. The Insurance Information Institute (III) and other insurance industry experts recommend motorists carry bodily injury liability coverage of $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident (referred to as 100/300 coverage). For property damage liability coverage, $50,000 or above is suggested.

  • Comprehensive and collision coverage will be required by any lender if the drivers have one. Also, full coverage pays the costs to replace the vehicle, if it’s totaled in a crash or it’s stolen.

  • Check online insurance quotes. Once they decided on what type of coverage they need, drivers can start comparing online estimates. It is recommended to use a brokerage website, that can offer multiple quotes from different insurers. By doing this, young drivers can find affordable coverage and can save even thousands of dollars per year.

  • Compare the offers made by the insurers. Drivers should be careful, as a policy might cost less because it offers fewer features and benefits. Car owners should check that the insurance company they have chosen it’s reputable, with good customer service and it’s paying the claims. Major rating agencies like Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, A.M. Best, rate the insurance companies by their abilities to pay claims.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes.

The CCGP program is governed by a seven-person Commission independent of the Society’s Board, responsible for all CCGP decision-making and administration to ensure program impartiality. Commissioners are leading corporate governance practitioners from private and in-house practice.

The certification – relevant to both law firm and in-house practitioners and other corporate governance professionals, was developed over a 2-year period by the Society and is also aligned to rigorous national accreditation standards. Governance professionals meeting eligibility requirements via a combination of experience and education and who pass the exam are awarded the CCGP. The exam covers 10 work domains and 57 job tasks identified by a diverse group of Society members and validated by an extensive survey.

Ward added, “As it evolves, the credential and certification program will help establish a common framework for what defines the corporate governance profession.”
