Today is International Women’s Day and one of the spotlights for our local Dubois County women this year is Julie Dutchess. In an interview with Dutchess, she spoke about her 40 years experience with Kimball Electronics and her enthusiasm of reaching various people around the world.
“I can’t think of any other woman in our county who has a bigger global reach than Julie, as HR Vice President for a soon-to-be billion dollar company”, said Kimball Electronics Communications Director, Scott Saalman about Julie Dutchess.
Her promotion to HR Manager in 1987 made her the first woman on Kimball Electronics’ leadership team.
