ATKINSON- The Central Nebraska Economic Development District announced that Carla Kimball, from Callaway, Nebraska, will serve as the District’s new Executive Director, effective December 1, 2023, as Judy Petersen prepares to retire.
Carla’s career began in August 2019, as the District’s Disaster Recovery Coordinator, a new position that was created following Nebraska’s 4420 federal flood declaration. Through her dedication, Carla successfully brought over $5 Million in disaster funds to Central Nebraska counties and communities through numerous state and federal grant programs.
In August 2022, Carla was promoted to Deputy Director and led the District while Judy Petersen was out on medical leave that Fall.
Carla has a tremendous reputation in Central Nebraska, and the Central Nebraska Economic Development District is excited to continue its work in the region through her leadership.
“What a privilege it is to be named Executive Director. Judy has been an excellent leader, teacher, and mentor. I look forward to serving the District with the same high standards that she taught me,” says Kimball.
