Nicole (Nikki) Workman, director of communications at Marion County Board of Developmental Disabilities (MCBDD), has made it her mission to inform the Marion community of the work that MCBDD does in our County. Workman brings with her close to thirty years of experience in marketing and communications. She has worked in every realm – from media buying, trade show organization, event planning, sales, graphic design, web design, public relations, social media, and more.
She is a graduate of The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a minor in Communications. Workman also holds a master’s in communication and leadership from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. She also completed the Executive Development Program through the Ohio Association of County Boards which not only taught her invaluable details of the DD field, it also provided her the necessary training to make her an eligible candidate to be a Superintendent.
Nikki was born and raised in Galion, Ohio and credits much of her success to the foundation she received throughout her childhood with incredible educators, coaches, friends, and family. She still vacations and regularly visits with ten girls from her high school graduating class and considers them her closest friends and confidants. Nikki also feels extremely fortunate to have met the love of her life at age 16. She ended up marrying said love (ten years later), Buck Workman, and built a life in Candlewood Lake, Mt. Gilead Ohio. Buck is a teacher at Northmor Schools. Together they raised three children, Griffin, Bohdi, and Cami, and enjoy baseball, the Browns, and each other.
