US Ambassador to the Bahamas

On June 16, 2009, Nicole was appointed United States Ambassador to the Bahamas by President Barack Obama. She was sworn in on October 22, 2009, and worked until November 21, 2011. Avant was the first black woman and the youngest US Ambassador to the Bahamas ever at the age of 41. Ambassador Avant was also nominated for the State Department’s Sue M. Cobb Award for exemplary diplomatic service during her term. She is also remembered as one of the more popular Ambassadors to have served the U.S. in the Island nation.

Avant has served with local advocacy groups for people with disabilities. She also hosted Eunice and Francesca Shriver to raise awareness for Special Olympics-Bahamas. Nicole brought Magic Johnson to the Bahamas Chamber of commerce to advise on trade with the US. The Inspector general found Nicole was often away from the embassy frequently traveling to and from her home in Los Angeles. She mostly worked from her office at the residence rather than working at the embassy while in the Bahamas. Avant relied unduly on her deputy chief of mission to attend to day-to-day contacts with the State Department. She was praised together with her staff for improving the embassy’s reputation among Bahamians. In turn, this fostered a close bilateral environment that is conducive to excellent law enforcement cooperation.

Avant responded to it by saying she had inherited a dysfunctional embassy, and the new executive team she appointed had improved things. She later resigned in November 2011, and informally served on Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election efforts, such as fundraising.
