Awards Recognition
May 29, 2025
Earlier this month, American Woodmark’s own Jennifer Kimble, Group Controller for our Made-To-Order (MTO) cabinet manufacturing plants, was recognized as a 2025 Women MAKE Awards Honoree—a prestigious national recognition that celebrates women making significant contributions to the manufacturing industry.
The two-day leadership conference and gala brought together some of the most driven, inspiring women in the field, and Jennifer was proud to stand among them.
“Attending the MAKE award gala and conference was a truly inspiring experience—one I was privileged to share with my daughter. From networking with incredible women in manufacturing to gaining tools in leadership and mentoring, it was an unforgettable opportunity for growth and connection.”
