We are thrilled to announce that Trinity is welcoming Nicole (Nikki) Davidson as the new Senior Director of the Bryant Neighborhood Center. The Senior Director is responsible for pushing forward the vision of the BNC to nurture “a diverse, connected, and empowered Bryant Neighborhood, with neighbors actively participating in the development of a healthy, just, and sustainable community.” This position will lead vision, staff, program, fundraising, and neighborhood partnerships.
This work with the BNC brings together many of Nikki’s passions, strengths, experiences, and even her own story. She brings over 25 years of experience in the church and non-profit worlds to this role at Trinity. She has worked as a NP Executive Director, a social-enterprise business owner, a Missions Coordinator for a Presbtyerian church, and a consultant on many projects. But before all of that, Nikki and her family (while she was still in high school) were ‘members in mission’ from Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church in Puyallup to Trinity, supporting Pastor Lynn Longfield and the small congregation that had just launched the Trinity Afterschool Program. It was a pivotal, life-shaping experience for her. In fact, as she wrote in her application materials: “The Trinity rebirth was integral to my understanding of faith in action and became a signpost in my own spiritual journey. In looking back, I think that my years at Trinity informed many of my professional choices as well.”
Nikki is married to Andy and together they have five children, ranging in age from 10 to 22. Nikki is down-to-earth, a strong leader, and a connector of people. She is someone whose posture and ethos aligns with all that we are hoping to do with the BNC.
Nikki will be introduced in worship on Sunday, September 11, and begin her role officially on Monday, September 19.
