The National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association (NRC) has named Nicole Womach as its Director of Finance and Administration.
In this new position, Nicole is responsible for the NRC’s financial operations, including the annual budget, day-to-day management and forecasting, and information and asset management. She will be a valuable member resource, serving as a liaison to the Finance committee and a support to committee chairs to help ensure the efficient operations of the association.
Nicole brings to the NRC more than 20 years of accounting experience. She most recently served as Director of Finance and Administration for the United Motorcoach Association (UMA), where she directed the financial operations and administrative functions for UMA, UMA Foundation and UMA-PAC (Political Action Committee).
“Nicole is a welcome addition to the NRC team,” says NRC Chairman Jim Hansen, chief commercial officer of Herzog Inc. “The NRC Board is enthusiastic about adding this dedicated function to the staff. We look forward to working with Nicole to make sure the NRC continues to be a financially sound organization that is responsive to our members.”
NRC President Ashley Wieland notes, “Nicole’s experience in accounting, budgeting,and financial forecasting coupled with her passion for serving a non-profit organization is the perfect fit for our team.”

The NRC scholarship has been an important part of my undergraduate experience at the University of Southern Mississippi. It has allowed me to focus more fully on my research and coursework as I prepare to pursue a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. This support has given me the freedom to dedicate additional time to my honors thesis, which examines how mental health influences jury decision-making.
