Kulis to leave Goodwill Career Center for Thombert

City council, other commitments will not change

Goodwill Career Connection Center Coordinator Miranda Kulis announced Tuesday she’s resigning from her position to take a management job at Thombert, Inc.

Kulis’ last day with Goodwill will be May 17. The Minnesota native said her position on the Newton City Council and her other board and committee commitments will not change.

She will be the Dyalon production supervisor for Thombert. The longtime small Newton company is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of polyurethane wheels and tires for narrow aisle lift trucks.

“This was a very difficult decision, but I am very excited about this career move and the opportunity to continue working in Newton,” Kulis said. “Through my new position, I will still have the ability to participate on and remain active in the community. My (Goodwill) team continues to amaze me with their skills, and I have no doubt that they will be able to continue with all of the positive programs we have implemented in the community.”

Kulis said it would be tough to pick one highlight from nearly two years with the Career Connection, but the partnership Goodwill has developed with Newton schools was certainly one of the larger positive developments.

The Career Connection staff can be reached at 641-791-0424.
