Allie Hughes,

YMCA of Niagara

“Nicole facilitated an engaging and fruitful governance workshop with the YMCA of Niagara Board of Directors at our 2023 board retreat. The board has not stopped returning to the messaging she shared with us, and the conclusions we drew as a group through her thoughtful facilitation process. I would highly recommend Nicole for any non-profit board evaluating their governance processes and approach. Our board is confidently entering 2024 with new ideas and guidelines thanks to the impact of her work.”
