It’s not every day that you get to step into a role where your passion, skills, and vision align with the mission of an organization. NABI has long been a cornerstone for entrepreneurs in the region, offering not just office space but a community that nurtures innovation, fosters collaboration, and provides the tools to turn big ideas into thriving businesses.

The heartbeat of NABI is its dedication to entrepreneurs. Whether you're someone with a budding business idea or a seasoned business owner looking to grow, NABI provides the support, resources, and connections needed to succeed.

As someone who believes deeply in the power of collaboration and innovation, I couldn’t think of a better place to make an impact.

The Role of Director of Community Engagement and Business Programs

This role is a blend of everything I love: community building, program development, and championing entrepreneurship. My focus will be on creating meaningful connections between entrepreneurs, partners, and resources while designing programs that address the evolving needs of our business community.

Some key areas I’ll be focusing on include:

  • Engaging the Community: Hosting events, workshops, and networking opportunities that bring people together to share ideas, learn, and collaborate.

  • Developing Innovative Programs: Crafting initiatives that support entrepreneurs at every stage, from ideation to scaling.

  • Strengthening Partnerships: Building relationships with local businesses, government organizations, and other stakeholders to create a robust ecosystem of support for entrepreneurs.

What I’m Excited About

There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing an idea take shape and grow into a thriving business. At NABI, I have the privilege of being part of that process, working alongside entrepreneurs to help them overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and realize their dreams.

I’m particularly excited to:
