Nicole Hylton-Patterson is leaving her post as the inaugural director of the\u00a0Adirondack Diversity Initiative\u00a0for a leadership position at a Brooklyn nonprofit. The Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) is convening a hiring committee to search for a new director.<\/p>\n

Hylton-Patterson\u2019s last day will be Friday,\u00a0according to a news release. ANCA plans to post the job position in late October on\u00a0adirondack.org.<\/p>\n

In a phone interview Wednesday, the 48-year-old Hylton-Patterson said she will be moving to Brooklyn to be with her mother. She will be the new director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at Little Flower Children and Family Services of New York, a nonprofit that works with the developmentally disabled. She became emotional talking about the people she has met in the\u00a0Adirondacks and the work she and community members have accomplished.\u00a0From partnering with local police and sheriff\u2019s departments on diversity training, to bringing more students of color up to the Adirondacks, Hylton-Patterson, ADI and its partners have instituted new and inclusive programs since her start in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the hearts and minds that I\u2019ve changed, or even opened a little bit, to consider some of what we are saying or sharing of everyday folks,\u201d Hylton-Patterson said. \u201cThat for me I think is what I\u2019m going to miss the most, the people on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

ANCA staff highlighted a multitude of accomplishments under Hylton-Patterson\u2019s leadership including its cultural consciousness trainings,\u00a0community policing initiative\u00a0and emerging stewards program. Hylton-Patterson said she was overwhelmed by the number of requests for diversity training in her tenure at ADI. Pete Nelson, co-founder of Adirondack Wilderness Advocates and ADI, said he is sorely going to miss working with Hylton-Patterson.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicky is a dynamic, passionate leader and she is also my friend,\u201d Nelson wrote, adding that \u201cshe leaves behind a strong, vital organization, with multiple initiatives that are making a real difference in the North Country.\u00a0 That\u2019s her legacy, and we will honor it by doing even more.\u201d<\/p>\n
