Two years later, Rose had joined Hy-Vee’s corporate staff as the first in-house corporate trainer and continually rose through the ranks, earning her the roles of Training Supervisor, Director of Training, and Assistant Vice President of Training. By 1996, Mitchell had been elected to the Board of Directors as the first female vice president where she oversaw Education, Training, and Government affairs. Mitchell was promoted to her current role as Senior Vice President in 2005.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Mitchell’s successful work with the company has earned her a number of prestigious honors and awards, including being named the Hy-Vee Director of the Year in 1991, being awarded the Simpson College Distinguished Alumni Achievement award in 1995, and other simultaneous awards in 2002 as the Greek Alumni and Advisor of the Year. Mitchell’s leadership and award-winning performance also helped to shape the Hy-Vee Toastmasters Club, of which she is a charter member.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> “Rose’s contribution to Hy-Vee and to the great state of Iowa cannot be overstated,” remarked Hon. Tom Latham of Iowa in the House of Representatives. “While Mrs. Mitchell’s expertise and experience are sure to be missed, she leaves behind a truly grateful community and an excellent example of service for which to strive. I wish Rose and her husband Jerry nothing but the best as they begin a new chapter in their lives.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> AndNowUKnow would like to congratulate Rose Kleyweg Mitchell for accomplishing such a lucrative career!</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?r113:E12SE3-0043:" target="_new"> The Library of Congress </a><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.hy-vee.com" target="_new"> Hy-Vee </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
