The Hingham Unity Council ("HUC") is thrilled to announced that Nicole Walters has accepted the role of Executive Director!

Nicole joins the HUC with over twenty years of leadership experience across nonprofit, corporate, and community organizations. She specializes in fostering connections and facilitating dialogue that drives collaborative solutions and meaningful impact. Most recently, Nicole served as Interim Executive Director and Senior Director of Operations at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, leading organizational growth, strengthening operational systems, and developing programs that ensured equitable experiences for employees and participants. She also organized community events focused on inclusion and environmental stewardship, engaging youth and adults in thoughtful conversation. Earlier in her career, Nicole held leadership roles in HR operations, organizational development, and communications at State Street Corporation and LPL Financial, improving efficiencies and strengthening workplace culture across domestic and international teams. Her interest in nonprofit work began with an internship at Third Sector New England, supporting early-stage organizations with grant research and funding strategies. Nicole has a long history of local service, including Vice Chair of the Duxbury Historical Commission, Steering Committee member of the One Plymouth After School Program, and Auction Chair for the Tri-City Hospital Development Committee.
