After a national search, the Yavapai Community College Foundation announced October 14 that that it had chosen alumna Nicole Kennedy as its new Chief Development Officer. A Prescott resident, Kennedy earned an Associate of Arts degree from the College. She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Management from Northern Arizona University. She founded the Prescott Area Women Who Care organization in 2017, a “philanthropic group of women from all backgrounds who employ the #Powerof100 to make an impact in our community.” She is a Board Member of the Northern Arizona Dream Center.
Since September 2022, Kennedy has been self-employed as a private consultant.
Her extensive experience includes serving as CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Arizona since 2019, working as an insurance broker while operating her own business (2008-2015), and spending a brief stint as Resource Development Manager for Phoenix Crisis Nursery (2013).
Rodney Jenkins, Vice President of Yavapai Community College Community Relations and Student Development, welcomed Kennedy, stating, “Nicole is a visionary leader with a proven track record of excellence. We are excited to have her lead our Foundation in close partnership with the College.”
