Meet NCPMA's Executive Director, Nicole Shore

Hello friends!

I am very excited to be serving NCPMA as your Executive Director.   I graduated from East Carolina University with a BS degree in Communications and Creative Writing. Following graduation, I began my professional career at FirstPoint Management Resources, where I stayed for 14 years.  I held many titles and roles during my time at FPMR honing my skills in communication, event planning and organizational design.  I had the honor of managing and working with several professional associations and societies such as NC Licensed Home Inspectors Association, Multi-Housing Laundry Association, Society of Invasive Cardiovascular professionals, NC Board of Podiatry Examiners and NC Land Title Association. 

In 2014, I transitioned to corporate HR with RAI Services Company.  There I gained valuable experiences and held various positions within Human Resources, including roles in Talent Development, Talent Management, and ultimately served as Lead Manager for Talent & Organizational Effectiveness. 

I rejoined FPMR as a Senior Account Manager in May 2024 and am really enjoying being back in the association world.  I have an enthusiasm for fostering relationships, designing impactful campaigns, and translating concepts into actionable initiatives.  I have a strong foundation in communication, engagement, organizational efficiency, and event planning. I excel in roles where these proficiencies can be harnessed to drive favorable results and enrich the experiences of both members and stakeholders.

Personally, I am parent person for my three nephews, Isaac (20), Jacob (17), and Sam (16). Most of my free time is spent supporting them in their various interests.  You’ll find me at a football game on Friday nights! I’m passionate about my friends and family and love cooking and baking and have been known to throw a great party!  I love going for walks and doing yoga and the beach is my favorite vacation spot. 

I’m a huge Organ Donation Awareness Advocate! In 2017 my nephew received a kidney transplant, and I was able to orchestrate a highly successful fundraising event to support organ donation initiatives, inspired by his experience. 

I am excited and ready to work with NCPMA to strengthen the organization and help you all meet and exceed your goals!
