MVCC is excited to announce the hiring of Nancy McKinney Milsteadt as their new Deputy Director. The Deputy Director will spearhead fundraising and engagement efforts as MVCC continues to grow and build strong collaborative partnerships in the community. Nancy has years of experience in the not-for-profit sector serving in roles including Volunteer Management, Accountant, Executive Director, and Board Member. She has a passion for building relationships and collaborations, finding solutions to problems, and empowering partners through trust.

Nancy fell in love with the Methow Valley as a teenager on a camping trip. She knew it was time to move out of Seattle when her husband began “sharecropping” on the neighbor’s parking strip. Since moving to the Methow in 2014, Nancy has gotten to know a wide cross-section of the Valley while doing bookkeeping/contract management for many organizations including: the Winthrop Ice Rink, Methow Valley Nordic Team, Jamie’s Place, Twisp Works, Room One and Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival. Over the past five years, Nancy has been the CFO/Controller for Sun Mountain Lodge.  She is looking forward to a new chapter with MVCC helping to protect the natural environment and rural character of the Methow Valley.
