She worked her way from senior accountant to CFO and eventually to CEO where she led the company through times of growth, acquisitions, and development as an organization. Through the difficult times in the ag economy and the more robust times, she led Art&#8217;s Way with a steady hand and was the ultimate stabilizing force that guided us to where we are today. The example that she set for others of work ethic, professionalism, and dedication has been second to none. During her time Carrie transformed our company in many ways and enhanced the culture of quality, customer service, innovation, and continuous improvement that are the hallmarks of a strong, enduring brand in the farm equipment industry. We cannot thank Carrie enough for what she brought to Art&#8217;s Way and the times that she put the needs of the company ahead of her own to ensure that the company would be a long term success.</p>
