TKDA was recognized as a Best-in-Class employer based on results from Gallagher's 2024 US Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking Survey! Organizations in the United States are ranked based on answers to how we support our employee owners’ physical, emotional, career, and financial well-being. TKDA stood out as an organization committed to our people and strategic approach to benefits, compensation, and the employee experience, which inclusively engages and motivates our employee owners. Our people are our greatest resource, so by supporting our workforce, we can build a strong and resilient organization.

Several of our team members will be connecting with industry leaders and learning from the best at Alliance Northwest! This premier business-to-government conference is a can’t-miss conference for TKDA. Come say hi and stop by our booth, we’d love to explore potential collaborations. In attendance this year we have Jaime Saez, PE, Dan Munn P.E., S.E., Craig Edmondson, Alex Irigoin, and Nicole Keith.

Happy International Women's Day! The theme of this year's International Women's Day is accelerating action, highlighting the importance of taking swift and powerful steps to achieve gender equality - a mission TKDA is proud to be a part of. Our Women's Resource Group fosters the advancement of women by creating and maintaining an environment dedicated to recognizing, cultivating, and utilizing the talents of women employees. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction

TKDA was proud to be a sponsor for Duluth and St. Louis County Days on February 12-13, 2025. Sponsored by the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce and in its 28th year, Duluth and St. Louis County at the Capitol Days is the largest regional advocacy event in the State of Minnesota. Craig W. Bursch, PE (MN) F. ASCE and Brian "Bud" Mickelson participated on a "lobby team" at the event and discussed regional issues with six state elected officials. Later that evening at the Grand Reception, Craig and Bud were joined by Jeff Lipovetz, John Ahern, and Doug Fischer to connect with Northland area clients and community stakeholders.
