each other and cares about one another’s success and wellbeing,” states one employee.
In effort to ensure that clients receive high levels of expertise and service, Lee & Associates prioritizes continued education through on-going training programs and conferences. The company has built a master library of training videos, templates and other resources for each position. The company hosts its annual Lee Summit conference, two Spring training events, various online and small group training sessions throughout the year, as well as monthly webinars with guest speakers. With a corporate leadership made up of 75% females, the company further solidified its commitment to diversity in 2020 by developing an advisory board to specifically drive change and ensure an inclusive culture through conversations, education and best practices. As one of the company’s largest initiatives, it founded the 501C-3 charitable organization, CompassionateLEE, in 2019, which supports a number of causes each year through financial assistance and volunteer days.
