"The days of 'work comes first' and 'family comes second' are gone," said Kim Young, Chief Executive Officer of The Children's Cabinet. "The workforce of today seek a sustainable work-life balance that prioritizes family-friendly employers, and we are excited to be able to honor the City of Reno with that distinction."
