KCMN Welcomes Rachel Lindsay-Elston to the Advisory Board!
We are excited to announce the addition of Rachel Lindsay-Elston, Vice President of Lindsay Machine Works, Inc., to the KCMN Advisory Board. Rachel grew up in the shop and held many different roles as a child and teenager in the family business. Prior to returning to LMW, Rachel worked in Product Design at Apple and in Operations at GE. The roles have given her a diverse perspective having worked on both coasts and in both union and non-union plants. Her additional experience in a small, custom machine shop as well as her perspectives as a woman in manufacturing all make her a great addition to the Board.
