Nicete Moodie is the Executive Director of the Maryland Association of Student Council (MASC). A Maryland native, Ms. Moodie credits a lot of who she is today from the strong foundation of student activism and leadership built during her years of involvement with student government in high school and college. While Ms. Moodie was a junior at La Plata High School in Charles County, she served as President for Student Government Association. She believed in the power of student activism and thus, in her senior year, she pursued and obtained the position of President for Charles County Association of Student Councils (CCASC) which allowed her to serve as a member of MASC. There, she honed her leadership skills, strengthened her problem-solving abilities and improved her team collaboration skills, all of which she used in college and throughout her professional career.

Ms. Moodie has had various positions in the state of Maryland that have allowed her to form strong relationships with key stakeholders. As Program Manager for the No Kid Hungry Campaign of Share Our Strength, Ms. Moodie managed a small team of outreach coordinators that worked across the state to improve the accessibility of school nutrition programs. Under her leadership, she established a successful and impactful community outreach program that included participation at community meetings with local elected officials and participation at Maryland State Education Association (MSEA) and Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) conferences. Shortly after, Ms. Moodie was the Youth Program Specialist for the American Dairy Association where she continued to work with school administrators and student-led focus groups across Maryland, New Jersey and Delaware. She spearheaded logistical planning for seminars and conferences including program structure, identifying speakers, stakeholder engagement and communication.

Currently, Ms. Moodie is a Community Schools Coordinator with Prince Georg’s County Public Schools where she manages the leadership team at a large middle school to coordinate all student and family support services and diligently works to create a learning environment that supports student achievement and wellness.

Ms. Moodie knows what it takes to be an excellent leader for the deserving youth of Maryland- to set an example, advocate for students and facilitate communication for them to learn and grow. She was fortunate to have advisors and leaders who provided these critical skills when she was in MASC. Now she looks forward to returning the favor to the next generation of future leaders.
