“With the appointment of our new Executive Director, we're entering an exciting chapter for the Vashon-Maury Chamber of Commerce. This leadership, coupled with our refreshed operating structure, positions us to better serve our community, support local businesses, and build a stronger, more vibrant future for Vashon Island," writes Cheryl Lubbert, President of Vashon-Maury Chamber of Commerce and Co-Owner/Founder of Nashi Orchards.

Nichole will be able to leverage her incredible professional background as our new Executive Director. With a B.A. in Public Relations and MBA in Marketing, plus years of experience in Brand Management and Consulting, Nichole is excited to leverage her expertise to benefit our island community, nonprofits and businesses.

Moving to Vashon in 2023, Nichole and her family have quickly become a part of our community. Nichole spends time volunteering for various Island organizations and enjoys our local hiking trails. Her husband, Brian, works at VHS and is the head coach of the High School Football and Middle School Wrestling teams. Their daughter, Cora, attends Chautauqua elementary and is active in soccer, aerial and VCA’s musical theater program. Their wirehaired pointer, Augie, still rejects the idea of long hikes, but enjoys the simple life of barking at deer from the deck.
