DEFINING LEADERSHIP

Congratulations to Stacey McLey for her exceptional work and leadership at Crestwood. The V&E shareholder litigation team is proud to partner with her to craft effective, strategic legal solutions. We look forward to a rewarding relationship for many years to come.

create a platform that encourages women to take an active role in personal and professional development. “I’m proud to work for a company that has taken these issues to heart and put programing in place that celebrates diversity,” McLey says.

McLey was asked to be a founding member of the organization, representing one of two female vice presidents at Crestwood’s Kansas City offices. “We had five gentlemen at our first meeting,” she says, “and I think they got to experience what it was like to be the minority in the room for once, but we hope they come back and learn how they can be better managers and promoters of female talent.”

Mentoring seems the logical next step for McLey, who has continued to find ways to expand her scope outside of the office, working with nonprofits and her own children’s school activities. McLey says it may not be as exciting as a midnight phone call about a gas explosion, but it’s exactly where she needs to be.
