As senior director of mission delivery and operations for Make-A-Wish Nevada, Quinn Weathers led the organization to break its record of number of wishes granted in a year. Twice. This means that in just the past two years, 361 children in Nevada had a wish fulfilled.
“That doesn’t happen by accident,” said Weathers. “It’s been a purposeful process of putting together an all-star team, developing new and better ways to find eligible children in Nevada, and creating lasting relationships with partners in the community.” Leading the wish team and keeping the Nevada chapter on track with budgeting, HR and compliance oversight keep Weathers energized and busy.
Weathers is a good leader who cares deeply about the organization’s mission and about her small but mighty team members who carry it out. She celebrates individual contributions and has been known to deliver handwritten notes to team members to recognize their hard work.
In addition to her work at Make-A-Wish, Weathers participates in park cleanups with Get Outdoors Nevada and helps with fundraisers and drives for other Southern Nevada nonprofits.
