Nicole Kennedy

After a successful career in banking and insurance, Nicole was introduced to the nonprofit world.  She realized a new passion for nonprofit development, or as Nicole prefers to say, “friend-raising.” Nicole currently serves as the Executive Director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Arizona. “I believe it is a privilege to work for a cause that creates opportunity and hope for the future.  I am proud to work alongside a talented team of people who believe in the mission of lifting up young people in our community.” 

An Arizona native, Nicole feels fortunate to return to the town in which she was raised after spending a a decade in various cities around the country.   She is the founder of Prescott Area Women Who Care, a women’s philanthropy group, who over the past three years, has raised nearly $120,000 for local charities.  She also serves on the board of the Northern Arizona Dream Center, a local organization who provides transitional housing and mentorship to at-risk young adults.  Nicole is married with one son, and enjoys the great outdoors, culinary adventures, travel and spending precious time with family and friends.
