Nicole A. Kivisto, current president and CEO of MDU Resources' electric and natural gas utility companies, was unanimously selected to succeed Goodin as MDU Resources' president and CEO effective Jan. 6. She will become a member of the board of directors at the same time.
Goodin began his career in 1983 as an electrical engineer with subsidiary Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. He served in various positions of increasing responsibility, becoming MDU Resources’ president and CEO in 2013.
