ROCKLAND, ME – Trekkers, a Rockland-based nonprofit youth mentoring organization, is pleased to announce the appointment of Nicole Pomeroy as its new Director of Development. Nicole succeeds Kate Elmes, who previously served as Deputy Director and played a key role in advancing Trekkers’ mission and fundraising efforts, including the successful completion of the recent capital campaign.
Nicole brings over 15 years of experience in strategic operations and creative production, with a proven talent for building efficient systems and cultivating meaningful relationships—both essential to successful development work. Her career spans the publishing and technology sectors, where she has led complex projects, nurtured strong author and partner relationships, and implemented sustainable processes to support dynamic teams.
In addition to her professional background, Nicole has demonstrated her passion for mission-driven work through her volunteer leadership with the Pongo Poetry Project and People’s Memorial Association, where she has excelled as a fundraiser, grant writer, and event planner.
“Nicole’s unique blend of operational expertise, creativity, and heart makes her an incredible asset to Trekkers,” said Stephanie Welch, Executive Director of Trekkers. “We’re excited to have her onboard and already have seen the positive energy and strong collaboration skills she brings to our team.” Nicole will focus on cultivating the resources and relationships that sustain and grow the organization’s impact on youth in Midcoast Maine.
Originally from Los Angeles, Nicole spent a decade in Seattle before making her home in Washington, Maine, where she lives with her partner, Anthony, and their trio of beloved rescue animals—cats Eliot and Finn, and dog Phoebe. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, reading, embroidering, and embracing Maine’s seasons with the occasional cold-water plunge.
