Kelly Ligget

Executive Director

Kelly Liggett comes to No Barriers from Colorado State University, where she served as the Managing Director of Strategic Planning and the Managing Director of Strategic Engagement. She has over 25 years of experience working with non-profit, not-for-profit and for-profit organizations. She brings expertise in engagement strategy, storytelling, development operations and leading teams, as well as a love for the impact that experiential learning can have on an individual’s life. 
 
A resident of Fort Collins Colorado, Kelly enjoys spending time outside with her family, whether on the river, on the slopes or in the woods. Kelly is a learner at heart, and has enjoyed past lives as a camp counselor, a recreation technician, wildland firefighter, and a ski instructor. She also enjoys vegetarian cooking, baking, travel and, when time permits, painting. Kelly is thrilled to be part of the No Barriers team!
