Attorney. advocate. strategist.

Courtnie Gore, Esq. is a governance, strategy, and community engagement leader currently serving as Board Operations Director for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. In this role, she supports enterprise-wide board governance and strategic oversight, advising senior leadership on governance best practices while strengthening Board effectiveness, accountability, and organizational performance. Her work reflects a disciplined commitment to institutional integrity, mission-aligned decision-making, and the systems that enable strong public-sector governance.

Her professional journey is grounded in a broader commitment to impact and inclusion. From corporate social responsibility work in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, to designing campaigns that expanded support for children and refugees, she has consistently focused on creating access, opportunity, and visibility for communities pushed to the margins. This through-line of service was shaped early in Richmond, Virginia, where she was raised in a household deeply engaged in community building, centering affordable housing, addiction recovery support, and local development.

Now based in the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore region, she continues to advance this dual commitment to governance and social impact, bridging boardroom strategy with community-centered outcomes.
