Susan comes to the MWTVB after 2-1/2 years as the technical assistance consultant for the Institute for Nonprofit Development, based at Mt. Wachusett Community College. There, she served as a management coach working hands-on with two dozen nonprofits in the areas of governance, revenue development, marketing, and community outreach.
The collaborative nature of MWTVB is its greatest strength, Nicholl says, as she works with the board to develop member services, seek financial support, and bring greater industry and geographic diversity to the effort.
Her immediate objectives at MWTVB are reminiscent of her previous experience as the first and sole employee of the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network, Nicholl says, where she worked closely with a very engaged board of directors to build MNN’s infrastructure and to design and launch its membership campaign and services.
She has served as editor-in-chief of regional and national magazines in Denver, Washington, DC, and North Carolina, where she also served as a university’s publications director charged with marketing all programs, services, and attractions to audiences throughout the Southeast.
