Royal Electric Takes Leadership in ABC Northern California

You may not know this, but Royal belongs to several industry associations.  Some associations train apprentices, some support subcontractors, some are contractor associations in general.  Royal has been a member of Associated Builders and Contractors Northern California for many years.  ABC NorCal supports merit-shop contractors and workers - by training apprentices, fighting Project Labor Agreements (PLAs), electing candidates at the local, state and national level, and helping contractors navigate through California labor laws.

On January 10th, our own Dina Kimble, partner at Royal Electric Company, was elected chair of the Board of Directors at ABC NorCal. Along with several other contractors and associates, as a member of the board Dina helps set policy for the direction of ABC Nor Cal.  The goals for the next two years of the association include: recruiting and training tomorrow's workforce to meet the growing demand for skilled tradesmen and women, creating opportunities for members to get their employees involved in ways that are meaningful and interesting to them, and building coalitions with other industry associations to enact legislation that helps all contractors in California.

In a very special turn of events, ABC NorCal asked Frank Vellutini, owner of Royal Electric Company, to administer the oath to the incoming 2014 Board of Directors.  James Fitzgerald of MarketOne Builders, last year's board chair, handed over the ABC baton to Dina as she took office.

Royal Electric is very proud of Dina, and proud to actively participate in ABC Northern California.
