  • Kimball Office’s Fearless Females
    Posted: 07.26.11
    By Kimball Office Social Media Team

    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. 

    Fearless Females

    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.”

    Did you know that Kimball Office offers classes for dealer partners and internal employees?  From basic product knowledge to extensive specification, be sure to check out the training workshop calendar to see if there is a class (in person or web conference) that interests you. 

    Recently we hosted a P103 class at our Jasper location, and guests from 6 dealerships attended.  P103 (Product in Application) is a hands-on three-day session that focuses on technical product details and using CAP/AutoCAD to develop efficient specifications. 

    Participants reviewed products and even installed some systems components to get a better understanding of the internal structure.  Tours of manufacturing facilities and the corporate headquarters were also a part of the class.  Specification and installation tips and tricks were shared among the group and the instant camaraderie provided for excellent networking opportunities.

    What Guides Starfish Family Services:

    A woman was walking on the beach after a terrible storm.  She noticed a young man ahead of her picking up starfish and throwing them into the surf.  When she reached the man, she asked, “With millions of starfish on the beach, what difference can you make?”  The young man smiled at the woman, reached down and picked up a starfish.  Throwing it into the sea, he said, “It makes a difference to this one.”

    The Fit chair was positioned at 198 yards…and the hole was only 173 yards, so golfers had to make up their mind on the drive if they were aiming for the hole or to Hit the Fit!
