KNOXVILLE–Kimberly Black, one of Knoxville’s most successful African American businesswomen, has been appointed to the national board of The Links, one of the largest and oldest volunteer organizations in the United States.
Kimberly, a brilliant woman who prefers to operate quietly behind the scenes, not drawing attention to herself, has been making an impact in Knoxville for years. She has been appointed to several boards, to include an appointment by Mayor Indya Kincannon to the Board of Zoning and Appeals, and was appointed on the state level by Lieutenant Governor Randy McNally to the Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct, supporting oversight and accountability within the state’s judicial system.
Black’s passion and dedication to community has led her over the years to serve on multiple boards, to include the Junior League of Knoxville, Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley, and Girl Scouts of the Southern Appalachians. In addition, she serves the community through Habitat for Humanity and is a board member of the Women in Construction of the Associated General Contractors of America.
The Links, Incorporated is an international not-for-profit organization established in 1946. Committed to enriching, sustaining, and ensuring the survival culturally and economically of people of African and African American ancestry, Kimberly, who will serve on the national board on the National Buildings and Property Committee, said, “It is a privilege to serve alongside an exceptional team of women, committed to excellence, friendship, and service. I look forward to contributing to the important work of the Buildings and Property Committee under the leadership of National Committee Chair Michelle Hagans while continuing to faithfully serve my local chapter. I am grateful for this opportunity and excited to help advance our national president’s administrative theme, ‘Where Friendship and Service Connect.’”
