Celebrating Becky Mikulec’s Career: 26 Years of Service, Dedication and Heart

After a 26-year career with Capital Farm Credit, we celebrate Becky Mikulec, senior administrative assistant, as she prepares to retire. What began as a simple visit to a friend’s office turned into a significant journey, one defined by adaptability, service and a genuine commitment to the people and mission of CFC.

Throughout her tenure, Becky has made meaningful contributions across the association. Among her most notable accomplishments is her long-standing work organizing countless events for CFC. Her efforts helped create opportunities for connection, collaboration and community, bringing people together from across the association.

In addition to her event planning, Becky played a critical role in maintaining the CFC Board and Legal minutes, ensuring accuracy and consistency in documentation that supports organizational governance. More recently, she has taken on the responsibility of maintaining and improving the Legal Department’s litigation tracker that has enhanced efficiency and supported the team’s ability to manage complex information.

Becky’s impact extends well beyond her specific responsibilities. She is known for her ability to adapt, her unwavering dedication and her warmth in every interaction. Whether working with leadership, colleagues, or customers, Becky has consistently demonstrated a genuine desire to help and an ability to collaborate with a wide range of roles.

Her manager, Kevin Koel, describes her as “incredibly kind” and a true team player. Becky has been a tremendous asset to the Legal Department and to CFC, contributing years of tireless effort to make everything a little better, a little more organized and a lot more connected.

When asked what one thing was her career at CFC taught her, Becky shared, “I worked with many people at Capital. I learned to be strong and to believe in myself and that I could make a difference,” she said, “and that farmers worked hard, and agriculture needed to be respected and how much joy it brought to people – not just by putting food on the table but with jobs, and how children were learning and being taught what life is about.”

If she had any advice for new employees beginning their journey in their career she said, “Love your job; it’s up to you to make the day you want it to be. Make it fun and you’ll have a good day. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Always be kind to others. It doesn’t cost you a thing to smile and make someone’s day. When you can do that, it will make your day even better. Every person counts.”

As she begins this new chapter, we extend our deepest gratitude for her 26 years of service. She will be greatly missed, and we wish her a retirement filled with joy, relaxation and all the things she loves most.
