NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders of Wisconsin for 2024. This year's remarkable honorees represent a diverse array of industries across Wisconsin, a Midwestern state recognized for its innovation in sectors such as advanced manufacturing, water technology, food and beverage, and forest products, along with energy, power, and controls. The largest industries—agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing—are vital to the economy of the Badger State, requiring highly skilled leadership to drive ongoing growth and success.
This year, we honor the accomplishments of Shelly Mondeik, President of Mid-State Technical College. Under Mondeik's leadership, the college experienced over a 20% increase in headcount in 2022 and 2023, earning it the number one spot in the Wisconsin Technical College System for headcount and full-time enrollment growth.
Additionally, we honor Kathy Thomson, Chief Commercial Officer of Kimball Electronics. Thomson spearheaded the company's impressive revenue growth, increasing it by over 70% in just four years. She also achieved a 20% increase in profitability by creating value-added services and building a strong front-end team.
Finally, we celebrate Kim Sponem, CEO and President of Summit Credit Union. Under Sponem's leadership, Summit has been the number one mortgage lender in Wisconsin and the number one provider of Small Business Administration loans among credit unions in the state for more than a decade.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders of Wisconsin for 2024.
