Community Involvement
As a mid-career nonprofit professional, Madison is currently exploring what the next phase of her leadership entails by engaging in new networking, development, and mentorship opportunities. As a new mom, Madison is an active member of the parent committee at her early childhood education center and also serves as the Vice President of her HOA board. Between work, motherhood, family, and friends, Madison is always burning the candle at both ends.
Why Madison Loves Colorado
Born in Colorado but raised in Minnesota, Madison was called back to the mountains to enjoy all the state has to offer – camping, hiking, and craft beer (just missing those rivers and lakes!). Madison is a mom to daughter James (Sept 2022), partner to Nick, and resides in Southwest Littleton with family nearby.
