About Nikki Statler:
Nikki Statler is a nonprofit leader, relationship builder, and passionate advocate for community-centered work. Throughout her career, she has been most energized by opportunities that connect people, purpose, and impact — whether through education, accessibility, community partnerships, or organizational growth.

With more than 14 years of nonprofit leadership experience, Nikki has led marketing, development, fundraising, and engagement strategies while helping organizations navigate growth, build meaningful relationships, and strengthen their connection to the communities they serve.

She believes that people thrive, and communities are strongest, when individuals feel heard, supported, included, and connected to a shared purpose. Throughout her career, she has been drawn to work that creates access, removes barriers, and expands opportunities for those whose voices are too often overlooked.

As Executive Director of The Arc Community Advocates, Nikki is excited to work alongside the organization's passionate staff, board members, advocates, families, and community partners to advance inclusion, self-determination, and meaningful opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She looks forward to listening, learning, and building upon the strong foundation of advocacy, support, and community impact that defines The Arc Community Advocates.

Please join us in welcoming Nikki to the The Arc Community Advocates family! 💙🧡

Erin is our Office Coordinator, but still maintains a small case load because she cares deeply for the families in our community and wants to support them.
