President - Molly Walsh

My family is new to Boulder County. We made the big move here from the San Francisco Bay Area in the summer of 2020 - the height of the pandemic. With decades of marketing and experiential event experience for corporate and nonprofit organizations, I’ve also been on many boards including the Bay Area Chapter of World Wildlife Fund, SFMOMA’s CX, Green Meetings Industry Council, and Meeting Professionals International Northern California. I’m currently enjoying a year on sabbatical to spend more time with my 5th and 7th-grade boys.
We are delighted to be part of this incredible Niwot Elementary community! I served on the Niwot PTAC as VP/VP Fundraising for two years and am happy to be in a new role as President this year. It’s been exciting to have a front-row seat as we slowly get to bring back longstanding traditions and fun to our NES families. I’d love to hear from you if you have any great ideas for the NES community - big or small. Contact Molly at president@niwotptac.org. |

Born and raised in the Finger Lakes region of New York, I moved to Colorado in 2000 and fell in love with skiing in champagne powder instead of packed ice. There was no going back. I work in development at Growing Gardens, a nonprofit farm that distributes fresh produce and provides nutrition and gardening education throughout Boulder County. I love to cook with beautiful, local ingredients. Our family resides in Longmont with our two NES students, Rose (5th grade) and Hugo (kinder), and two furry friends.
For the past two years I have volunteered with the Dining for Dollars committee. I'm happy to join the PTAC Board this year with an increased focus on fundraising. You'll see me outside of the school a lot during the Cougar Campaign, please come say hi! I'm a big foodie and try to attend our monthly Dining for Dollars nights, where you get an evening off from cooking and can enjoy the wonderful company of our school community.

I grew up in Boulder, CO and the Bay Area, California. I have a doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the University of Washington and currently work part-time as a research consultant at the University of Denver. I live in Longmont and have three children at NES this year (4th, 1st, and 1st).
This is my second year serving on the Niwot PTAC. I have also volunteered in various capacities at NES and in the community. In my role as Communications Secretary, I will be updating the PTAC website and Facebook page frequently with events and opportunities, so stay tuned! It's going to be a great year!

Originally from Long Island, I have been in Boulder since 2012. I completed my Masters in Nursing from Regis University, and I work as a Nurse Practitioner in private practice. I have 3 children attending NES this year (Pre-K, 1st, and 3rd).
My family has been part of the NES community for over 4 years now, and we absolutely love it. This is my second year on the PTAC team, and I am very excited for a great year. Community events and supporting our school are such an important part of inspiring our Niwot spirit. Contact Colleen at secretary@niwotptac.org. |
