PLACE 3
Tracy Gatewood has announced she is a candidate for Fairhope City Council Place 3.
Biography from her campaign's web page:
"A Liberal Arts college graduate, Tracy earned a BA with Distinction
(Honors) in Political Economy from Sweet Briar College with a secondary
concentration in International Affairs. Her thesis focus was Milton
Friedman’s “Free to Choose" - she made an A.
Post graduation, Tracy moved to Dallas, followed by various cities,
including a 13-year stint in Atlanta. Her roles include real estate
marketing, management and brokerage. As a sales and marketing manager
she achieved the property goals of $22MM in Net Operating Income while
also winning two ICSC MAXI Awards, the shopping center industry’s Oscar
equivalent.
Tracy believes her experience with for-profit and nonprofit
organizations will provide a strong foundation from which to make
decisions. Her previous and current responsibilities will add value to
her Council seat by promoting decisive future positioning and
strengthening of city government. Tracy is one that "runs to a fire";
not risk averse, and will accept challenges quickly.
As an Associate Broker for White-Spunner Realty,
a top area brokerage, Tracy provides real estate advisory services to
small business owners and Baldwin County property owners. As Chair of
the Baldwin Commercial Exchange,
she convenes the monthly meetings where brokers collaborate on clients’
needs to move their requests forward. She is a licensed Alabama real
estate instructor and has earned the CDEI designation.
Tracy
serves her spiritual community as volunteer host of multiple prayer
breakfasts and leads an expository bible study for women. Tracy is a
member of Church of His Presence.
In October 2024, Tracy was featured as a Woman of Excellence by the editors of SOCIAL Eastern Shore and SOCIAL Coastal magazines. With
this same spirit of excellence, she looks forward to serving the
citizens of Fairhope to secure its future through strategic and critical
thinking, advocacy, fairness, transparency and collaboration."
