6/23/2025

Educational Systems Federal Credit Union has been named one of The Washington Post’s 2025 Top Workplaces in the Washington, D.C. area. Selection is based solely on Ambassador feedback gathered through an anonymous third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC, which measured several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution and connection. This year’s honorees include technology companies, real estate firms and financial service providers.

“For 12 years, The Washington Post’s Top Workplaces list has served as an essential resource for D.C.-area professionals, equipping them with unparalleled insight into the best local companies to work for, as heard directly from their employees,” said Bronwen Latimer, the editor for Special Initiatives at The Washington Post. “This year we have highlighted 250 companies who are making a difference in business and in our communities.”

Educational Systems Federal Credit Union is proud to be recognized as one of The Washington Post’s 2025 Top Workplaces in the Washington, D.C. area. This prestigious honor is especially meaningful as it reflects the voices of Credit Union Ambassadors and confirms the strength of our workplace culture.

“We’re thrilled to be named a 2025 Top Workplace by The Washington Post! This honor is a direct reflection of our amazing Ambassadors, who bring passion, purpose and heart to everything they do,” said Girado Smith, President/CEO of Educational Systems FCU. “We call our employees Ambassadors because they represent so much more than a role—they embody our values and champion our mission every day. Thank you to our Ambassadors for making our Credit Union a place where people thrive and where we truly make a difference for our members and our community.” As we stand alongside some of the region’s most respected employers, we remain focused on continuing to build a workplace that inspires excellence and purpose.

The Washington Post hosted an awards ceremony on Wednesday, June 18, to recognize the top-ranked companies.
