HAAR is thrilled to announce the hiring of Julie Klein as the newest team member and Assistant Finance Director! Julie comes from Rapid City, South Dakota where she worked in account analytics and cash management. Previously, Julie has served as the mayor of Hill City, South Dakota.

Julie was born in Jacksonville, Florida and has lived in some of the most beautiful parts of the country as her father worked with the National Park Service, including Chincoteague Island, Mt. Rushmore, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and Canyonland National Parks. She credits her time in these locations for her love of the outdoors.

Before her most recent stint in South Dakota, Julie called North Alabama home for more than 25 years, most recently serving as the AR/AP manager at Lakeland Industries in Decatur. Julie graduated from UNA with degrees in Interior Design and Business Management. Her hobbies consist of scrapbooking, hiking, reading and gardening with a love to “dig in the dirt”!
