The Peoria Woman - November 2006

Kim Farlin

Reaching Out to Women in Business

After the United States Air Force placed her in a not-so-thrilling career field, Kim Farlin actively sought other nontraditional career options for women in the military, and was one of the first women to be accepted into the Carpentry Training Class at Sheppard Air Force Base. As a female forerunner in the carpentry industry and as this year's president of the National Association of Women Business Owners, Farlin's voice as a woman business owner has reached many others, including top women entrepreneurs and young women considering a nontraditional career choice such as hers. She's become a mentor to many, and her volunteer track record speaks for itself.
