In her Community Development role for Climax Molybdenum Company, Nell Wareham helps communities and organizations work in partnership to build their own sustainable futures. Her daily travels crisscross our mountain passes to Climax Mine in Lake and Summit counties, the Henderson Mine in Clear Creek County, and the Henderson Mill in Grand County, giving Nell a regional perspective on local issues.
Prior to joining Climax in 2012, Nell worked in marketing for Copper Mountain Resort and in the art and design world on Maui. She holds a B.F.A. from Montana State University.
Nell is passionate about early childhood education and access to STEM education; sustainable careers and creative, active futures; retention of families and involved communities; and attainable housing. She is a director of the Education Foundation of the Summit, a board member of the Summit County Chamber of Commerce, president of the Timberline Learning Center, and past board member of the Breckenridge Film Festival.
Born on the Hat 6 Ranch outside of Casper, Wyoming, Nell has a love of wide open spaces and the peace found only high in the mountains at her core. Nell loves living in an engaged community and looks forward to any opportunity for sunshine, fun, and fresh air with her husband and young daughter.
