           Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes
and appoints each of James M. Krodel and Mark W. Johnson, or either of
them signing singly, and with full power of substitution, the undersigned's
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

(1)    prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's
behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents necessary or
appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the undersigned to make
electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation of the SEC;

(2)    execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as an officer and/or director of Kimball International, Inc. (the
"Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

(3)    do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3,
4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely
file such form with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

(4)    take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of
the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and
shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve
in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

    The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full
power and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the
rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as
the undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power
of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned acknowledges that the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of
the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

    This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

    This Power of Attorney revokes my previous Power of Attorney dated
August 12, 2014, appointing each of James M. Krodel and Julia Heitz Cassidy,
or either of them signing singly.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney
to be executed as of this 6th day of April 2020.
