Julie Kelley

Private Sector Business Representative
Board Member since January 1, 2005.

Julie Kelley has been the Lead Design Engineer for six months at Gentex Corporation where she has been employed for six years.

Julie has a B.S. Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Technological University and an M.B.A. from Grand Valley State University.

The most important thing Julie has learned in her professional career is to focus on the development of others.

The biggest change in her career in the past few years has been the degradation of the domestic auto worker.

The biggest challenge that she has faced within her industry is competitiveness, particularly from foreign suppliers and auto-makers.
