Ms. Cartwright has been with the agency for ten years and has served the Tahoe RCD in a variety of increasingly responsible positions.

"We are thrilled to appoint Nicole as the new Executive Director and we look forward to her enthusiasm and excitement in leading the agency" stated Carl Ribaudo Tahoe RCD Board President.
