Kimball Office’s Rhonda Scherer, Kathy Sigler, and Chris Durcholz recently volunteered their time to the latest annual Fearless Females event in Jasper, Indiana.  Rhonda is an environmental and safety manager, Chris is a quality coordinator, and Kathy is director of operations for Kimball Office-Jasper.

Fearless Females reaches out to females in middle school and early high school, helping them develop an awareness and understanding of career opportunities in manufacturing.

“The students toured Vincennes University Jasper Campus and met with professional women, like Chris, Kathy and me, to discuss the roles we hold within our organizations,” says Rhonda.  “We discussed our roles and talked to them about their career aspirations,” says Rhonda.  “The purpose of the event was to encourage young women to evaluate careers that may be outside the traditional roles held by women, along with the educational aspects. “

It was also an opportunity to get the word out about Kimball Office.  A display was set-up with information about Kimball Office and included handouts such as pencils, note pads, Kimball Office totes, and stick pins with the Hum logo. 

Our own fearless females’ efforts did not go unnoticed.

E-mailed the director of the event, Donna Taylor Bouchie: “On behalf of the Fearless Females committee, thank you very much for taking the time to share with our future female professionals.  I personally appreciate the ease of asking and finding strong females ready to volunteer.  Thank you for being community minded.”
