: Although (to my surprise) Oxford does accept "functionary" as a valid word, it is too formal and not quite the same meaning - "someone who has to perform *official* duties".

former IBM female employees reunite every December
Veronikka, se você quiser especificar que são "funcionárias", ou seja, "mulheres", acho que o termo "female employees" cabe. Veja alguns exemplos:

: "get together" would be more natural than "reunite"
