True to form she got involved – and


hasn’t stopped since. “I’ve made so many friends over the years at AGC but also just great industry peers that I can call on,” she said. “I love the district, state and national model; you really can have an impact in your local area as well as statewide and nationally at AGC.”


Journey into the Executive Ranks Although she grew up around the con- struction industry, Kimble’s own journey into its executive leadership ranks was far from a foregone conclusion when she was deciding what career path to pursue. She had worked at the electrical contracting business founded by her grandfather every summer since she was 12, but “never even envisioned it as a career for me,” Kimble said. “We were a very small company back then, and there were no women in operations.”


“I feel like we really are at a great turning point in the industry, where


we are focused on culture and people in addition to the technical expertise that we’ve always had. It’s such an exciting time to be part of it!” – Dina Kimble
