She has been a positive impact to our commission and community in implementing the social media and marketing skills we identified in her hiring process."
"We enjoyed working with Nicky over the past year, and we hate to see her leave, but we’re also pleased with the work she has produced for the tourism office during her time here. We are a better commission for having her as executive director."
