Top SchoolJoy Nelson is a results-driven technology and nonprofit leader with 14 years of experience marrying library-focused software delivery and enterprise program management. Currently serving as President of the Board for the Children's Reading Alliance and Director of an Enterprise PMO at New Mexico State University, she excels at governance, stakeholder alignment, and translating institutional needs into repeatable implementation processes. Her career grew from hands-on data migrations and QA into senior roles overseeing implementations, customer success, and operations for open-source library platforms like Koha. Known for blending process discipline with flexibility, she guides cross-functional teams through change while keeping a strong customer focus and relationship-first approach. Joy’s background in information sciences, plus a practical history of scripting and SQL-driven migrations, gives her both technical credibility and program-level insight.
