“What an honor to be recognized at the top of the list of the Best Workplaces for Women in 2023!” said Pam Sexauer, President of Roth Staffing Companies. “I’m extremely grateful to work with dynamic and strong women every day. Their determination and dedication to their work and balancing their personal lives inspire me and everyone around them. I am so proud of all that they do for our company and their communities.”
The Best Workplaces for Women list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary For All™ Methodology to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, with over 1.3 million survey responses received this year, representing the experiences of more than 7.5 million employees.
Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for women regardless of job role, race, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier. Great Place To Work analyzed the gender balance of each workplace compared with Bureau of Labor Statistics industry data. Companies are also assessed on how representation changes as women rise from front-line positions to the board of directors.
“In a challenging market, companies can’t afford to leave workers on the sidelines,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “When women feel empowered to be full participants in the workplace, productivity and profit grows, insulating the organization from external pressure. We celebrate these companies who are committed to closing the gender gap, developing the next generation of women leaders to solve the complex problems we all face.”
“Fortune congratulates the companies that made the cut for the Best Workplaces for Women,” says Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. “Based on survey responses of so many women nationwide, these companies clearly demonstrate they have created workplaces where women are consistently valued, supported, and encouraged to do their best work.”

Askew also acknowledged the vital contributions of others who worked tirelessly behind the scenes for this year’s event. “Paul Spurlin, Jon Podein and Hardison Moles of the Ministry League stepped in this year to assist the office of admissions in making RUSH 2023 a great one! We look forward to their connections and experience in the world of youth ministry continuing to enhance future events.”
The theme for RUSH 2023 was “Decisions.” Branded similarly to the 1960’s three-door “Let’s Make a Deal” game show, the focus was on challenging high school students to consider the impact today’s decisions will have on tomorrow. While making good decisions now will have major future payoffs, students were also encouraged to accept and take comfort in the decisions God has already made and the providence He provides for His children. Speakers for this year’s event included TJ Kirk, Brad Montague, JD Schwartz, Andrew Itson and FHU President David R. Shannon.
Prospective students came from a variety of cities and states to get a taste of college life and see what Freed-Hardeman has to offer. Some said that their visits were encouraged by their local youth ministers, and others complimented the classes and food that they got to sample over the weekend. Many students stated that their RUSH experience has helped to put FHU on their radar for choosing colleges in the near future.
“Events like this are an exciting opportunity for us to visualize the future of FHU,” Shannon said. “These participants may be visiting high school students today, but, hopefully, many will soon be contributing members of campus life here. The positive decisions that they make today can have a lasting effect on their tomorrow.”
While on campus, participants got to experience many of the social activities that go on at FHU and in the town of Henderson. Because the Chester County annual BBQ Festival coincided with RUSH weekend, festival foods and vendors lined Main Street. The same night, a block party was held after the festival featuring Carver Commodore as musical entertainment. On campus, social clubs introduced themselves and entertained students with games and activities, and hypnotist Dale Jenkins performed for an audience in Loyd Auditorium. Students kept a high level of engagement over the course of RUSH, as many of the optional activities during free time were just as full as the main activities.
Freed-Hardeman University’s mission is to help students develop their God-given talents and deepen their faith by providing them an education founded in faith, scholarship and service. With locations in Henderson and Memphis, FHU offers associate, bachelor’s, master’s, specialist and doctoral degrees. More information is available at fhu.edu.

Catholics for Change in Our Church (CCOC) will be holding an inclusive Mass on October 22, 2023, in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh. The theme will be “The Church Welcoming – No Exceptions”, making a special appeal to Catholics who feel marginalized within their own Church.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Catholics for Change in Our Church (CCOC), an independent organization of Catholics seeking a greater role for the laity in the Church, will be holding an inclusive Mass on October 22, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. at the Kearns Spirituality Center located in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh. The theme “The Church Welcoming – No Exceptions” references the Pastoral Letter of Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik of August 2023, making a special appeal to Catholics who feel marginalized within their own Church.
The Mass is also in response to the cancellation of the CCOC Mass in June 2023 which was to be in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ Catholic community. CCOC Board President Kevin Hayes met with Bishop Zubik after the cancellation to discuss ways the Catholic Church could be more welcoming to marginalized Catholics.
“There was much hurt and disappointment among Catholics in Pittsburgh when the June mass was canceled,” said Hayes. “It also became clear that in addition to LGBTQ+ Catholics, other Catholics felt marginalized. This includes Catholics who are ethnic minorities, addicts or recovering addicts, divorced, homeless, as well as many women in their own Church. The Mass on October 22 invites and seeks to make all Catholics welcome in the celebration of the Eucharist, expressing the love and mercy of God through commemorating the passion and resurrection of Jesus. CCOC hopes that Bishop Zubik might consider having a similar Mass for the entire diocese, and encourages parishes to have similar celebrations.”
Kearns Spirituality Center is a ministry of the Sisters of Divine Providence. It is located at 9000 Babcock Boulevard, Pittsburgh, PA 15101, and is adjacent to Passavant Hospital and the campus of LaRoche University.
The presider for the Mass will be Fr. John Oesterle. The guest Scripture commentator will be Consuelo “Chelo” Cruz. She is a former nun and an immigrant from Mexico who has lived in Pittsburgh for 25 years. Cruz practices as a counselor helping indigenous populations and those who identify as LGBTQ+. She is also active in her parish and a catechist there. Cruz has two daughters who are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
“As a lifelong Catholic, who works with marginalized Catholics, and the mother of two members of the LGBTQ+ community, I know we as a Church can be and need to be more welcoming,” said Chelo Cruz. “I look forward to participating in the October 22 CCOC Mass that seeks to welcome everyone to the altar of Jesus Christ in a gesture of love and fellowship. I hope any Catholic looking for such an experience will attend, and also that parishes and even Bishop Zubik will have similar Masses in the future.”
About CCOC:
Catholics for Change in Our Church (CCOC) is an independent organization of 1200+ concerned, committed Catholics, based in Pittsburgh, formed to affirm the laity’s rightful role of co-responsibility in the Church. The goal of CCOC is to bring about positive changes grounded in working collaboratively with the clergy and having the qualities of transparency, accountability, and competency.
