Kodiak Building Partners

We’re proud to celebrate Virginia Ackerman, Contractor Sales at Albeni Falls Building Supply, Inc., for being recognized as one of HBS Dealer’s 2025 Top Women in Hardware & Building Supply.

Virginia represents the next generation of leadership in our industry—one defined by curiosity, collaboration, and resilience. Her success reminds us that progress in the LBM industry doesn’t just happen through innovation in products, but through people who challenge old norms, build genuine relationships, and lead with empathy and confidence.

Her recognition also highlights something bigger happening across Kodiak and the industry: more women are stepping into influential roles that shape how our teams, partners, and customers experience the building materials business. Virginia’s advice says it best: “Be personable. Build relationships, not transactions. Stay resilient, know your worth, and use your voice.”

This award isn’t just about one person—it’s about the collective shift toward a more inclusive and dynamic future for LBM. Congratulations, Virginia, and thank you for helping lead that change.
