Youth Emergency Shelter has appointed Marnie Nowicki to join its Board of Directors. Nowicki is the general sales manager at WSAV NBC 3 in Savannah, where she oversees the sales efforts and traffic operations for the television station.

“My goal as a Board member at Park Place Outreach – Youth Emergency Shelter is to bring fresh insight in regard to the Shelter’s visibility in the Savannah area,” said Nowicki. “I hope to develop fundraising opportunities to help elevate awareness about the Shelter and its mission of offering youth a safe place to go 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

A graduate of Ferris State with a BA in marketing and advertising, the Edwardsburg, Michigan native moved to Savannah last year from Montgomery, Alabama, where she served in sales management roles as WSFA NBC 12. She also volunteered at the shelters of the Montgomery and Autauga County Humane Societies and participated on the boards of related fundraising events. Nowicki also assisted with the promotion of the Take Back a Neighborhood initiative of Common Ground Montgomery ministries, serving inner-city youth in high crime areas. She previously served on the board for the Boys and Girls Club of Chico, CA.

When her busy schedule permits, Nowicki enjoys playing the piano, growing herbs and baking organic dog treats. She has two St. Bernard dogs: Romeo and Clayton.
