🌟 Team Member Spotlight: Sara McKeown 🌟
We’re incredibly proud of our very own Sara McKeown, who is contributing to meaningful, forward‑thinking research right here in Arkansas. 🙌
Sara is helping teams examine how childcare costs, workplace flexibility, and paid family leave are shaping workforce participation and the overall economic stability of families across our state. This research is shedding light on the very real challenges families face—and the opportunities we have to build stronger, more supportive communities.
Her dedication doesn’t stop at compliance; she’s helping drive conversations that impact the future of Arkansas families and the workplaces that support them. 💙
