Nicole Mace, former director of finance and operations for the Winooski School District, has joined the Community College of Vermont as dean of administration.

“I am thrilled to welcome Nicole to the CCV community,” said President Joyce Judy. “She is a seasoned leader with deep roots throughout the state, and she brings strong financial chops, a practical approach to problem-solving and an impressive ability to forge meaningful relationships.”

While at Winooski, Mace managed a $30 million budget, secured financing for a $57.8 million capital project and directed facilities, technology, food service and transportation, as well as human resources and fiscal services. Prior to her tenure with WSD, she served for eight years as general counsel and executive director at the Vermont School Boards Association.

Mace has strong ties to her home community of Winooski. She sat on the City Council for four years, serving as a councilor and deputy mayor. She is currently on the boards of both the Winooski Housing Authority and the Champlain Housing Trust.
