*Columbus, Ohio – May 26, 2021* – Kimball Midwest’s industry-leading training programs recently were highlighted by Modern Distribution Management.

Kimball Midwest Director of Sales Development Kate Callison was the subject of a [question-and-answer article](https://www.mdm.com/premium/operations/kimball-midwest-pivots-training-to-overcome-covid-19-challenges/) published May 25. The cover story focused on the company’s training and development efforts, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The lessons learned from this year and last year are going to inform what we’ll be doing for years to come,” Callison told MDM. “Things like really understanding what the key components are of not just our training content, but also our training delivery methods, and how we can be the most effective in using those delivery methods are going to be a huge part of what we do.”

The interview came after Kimball Midwest received two training-related awards in the first few months of 2021.

The company was one of 59 organizations honored as part of [Chief Learning Officer’s 11th LearningElite Awards program](https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/2021/04/27/chief-learning-officer-reveals-2021-learningelite-award-recipients/). It was the Kimball Midwest’s first year on the list.

Kimball Midwest also was ranked 84th in Training magazine’s 2021 [Training Top 100](https://pubs.royle.com/publication/?i=692829), which was announced in February. It was the company’s second time on that list.
