“I’m honored to be part of this great group of business leaders as we learn more about the underlying operations of our region and how we can work together to leverage our joint knowledge and experience to have an impact on the community. We live and work in such an amazing place, it only seems natural to give back and contribute to its success,” said Ms. Nugent, a Vice President with CBRE in Fort Collins who specializes in the sale and leasing of office properties across Northern Colorado.

Prior to joining CBRE in 2018, Ms. Nugent co-owned a commercial relocation and furniture business.

He has been a commercial real estate agent in Northern Colorado for six years and has participated on over $300 million dollars of real estate sales and leases. Mr. Brown is a member of the Northern Colorado Commercial Association of Realtors® (NCCAR) and is also a graduate of Colorado State University.

“Leadership Northern Colorado provides a unique way to view the opportunities and challenges our region faces. I’m looking forward to working with other local professionals to identify solutions to better serve our clients and communities,” said Mr. Brown.
