GRETCHEN HENRIE
BOARD MEMBER

Passionate and dedication are core qualities that guide me while serving as Vice President the past 8 years and a trusted Account Executive 28 years, at Nicholson & Associates Insurance.  I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with local business owners to learn about the unique challenges they face and find opportunities to enhance their risk management and insurance needs.  Forming partnerships with a focus on adding value and reducing insurance expense are the heart of my objectives.

​

On a personal level, in 2015 I co-founded Noah’s Guild in conjunction with Seattle Children’s Guild Association, where I served as Vice President through 2018.  It was my way of honoring the short but joyful life of our grandson, Noah, and supporting others in their fight against cancer.  During that time, I was instrumental in developing fundraising campaigns which included an intimate benefit concert and auction.

​

I also have a passion for the Arts.  I’ve seen first-hand how it can bring light in times of darkness and provide an opportunity for expression and healing.  I believe everyone can benefit from the Arts and should have the opportunity to explore and expand their creativity regardless of age, finances or other limitations.

​

In my spare time I love being surrounded by my husband, my family, and my fluffy Shih Tzu.  Some of my favorite past times are camping, attending musicals and having a good laugh with my one and only.  Yet, nothing tops admiring my daughters pursuing their own passions.  Amongst them we have an amazing mom of four, aspiring coffee shop manager and writing enthusiast, and a talented dancer pursuing her professional dreams.  These are my greatest legacy.
