	Executive Vice President – Niki (Nicole) Wight Niki Wight is a Product & Client Success Manager for a major marketing company in Grapevine, TX. She originally hails from what she lovingly calls, “The Dirty Jerz”, and moved to Plano in 2015. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable at product marketing, social media marketing and pretty much anything pop culture related in the era of 1981-1999. Volunteering is Niki’s true passion. Organizations of which she is a part of include VP of Programming for Social Media Dallas, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals & Extra Life, and DFW Circle Lead for Facebook’s Community Leadership Circles. Niki pretty much loves anything nerdy and geeky. However, if she had to pick her top three, Doctor Who, Punky Brewster and Bioshock would be it! She also hosts a monthly board game night at her home in Plano and has an impressive collection she shares with her husband. (Sometimes.) *Contact: evp@ladieswhogeek.org*

	Vice President of Membership – Kym Williams Kym Williams is an avid crafter, gamer, lover of movies, books, and TV shows. From painting miniatures to scrapbooking, from knitting to wood burning, her only problem is too many crafts and not enough time. Unfortunately, none of these things pays the bills so as a day job she works at Financial Benefits Services, an insurance third party administrator, as the CSR Team Trainer, teaching new hires. Kym joined Ladies Who Geek in 2017 and has enjoyed making friends and getting to know new people and let her geek flag fly. Contact: membership@ladieswhogeek.org

I have a lot of favorite fandoms such as Rick and Morty, Firefly, and Uncharted, but the one my friends know I love the most (and the one I have the most memorabilia from) is Star Wars. I look forward to helping the organization as best I can and meeting a lot of new friends in 2019. Contact: merch@ladieswhogeek.org
