Learn more about Leann Farner
Leann enjoys working in HR because it allows her to support both the organization and its people, helping employees feel heard, supported, and empowered while contributing to a positive workplace culture. She values CEC’s focus on people, not just positions, and appreciates the teamwork, approachable leadership, and opportunities for growth that make it a place where hard work is recognized. For her, being part of a team means creating an environment where everyone feels valued and motivated to contribute, and she sees a job well done as improving someone’s experience with consistency, care, and trust — whether by solving a problem, offering support, or refining a process. Outside of work, she recharges by spending time with family and friends, enjoying time on the water, gardening, working out, and being outdoors.
