Kim Scott to Receive Prestigious TWIN Award

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#BlachBuilds–Yesterday was International Women’s Day, a day the world celebrates the
social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It also
marked the day the YWCA of Silicon Valley unveiled the women they’ve
selected to receive their prestigious Tribute to Women in Industry
(TWIN) Award. Kim Scott, director of education services at Blach
Construction Company is among the honorees and will be recognized at an
Awards Dinner at the Fairmont Hotel on May 11th.


“Kim is an example to others within our company and our industry
overall. Her thorough knowledge of construction and innate skill at
navigating complex situations, coupled with her strong business sense
and solutions-oriented approach inspire others to perform,” said Dan
Rogers, executive vice president & COO at Blach. “She has an outstanding
ability to lead cross-functional teams and easily connect with others –
qualities that make her an ideal recipient of the TWIN Award. This is
very well-deserved.”

The third Blach employee to receive this honor, Kim joins colleagues
Gaye Landau-Leonard, vice president of human resources and Laura Bold,
vice president of finance, in the TWIN Hall of Fame. Gaye and Laura were
each recognized in 2013 and 2005, respectively, for their creativity,
innovation and dedication to excellence in their fields.

Kim started her career with Blach in 2004 as a project engineer and
quickly transitioned into a project manager. During this time, she
worked primarily on jobsites, managing highly complex and varied
construction projects. Her constant interaction with project
stakeholders enabled her to develop strong relationships with many Bay
Area school districts. It is this experience that paved the way to her
current position as director of education services, where she is
responsible for leading the development of one of Blach’s largest and
most successful target markets – the K-12 and Higher Education sectors.

Kim earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of California
at Berkeley and is actively involved with several state-wide
organizations focused on advancing education. These include the
California Association for School Business Officials (CASBO), the
Community College League of California (CCLC), Pivot Learning Partners,
California’s Coalition for Adequate School Housing (CASH), the Community
College Facility Coalition (CCFC).
