Tracie Hodson
Immediate Past President

Tracie’s motto: “To leave the world a better place, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Tracie has 25 years of executive nonprofit leadership and fundraising experience. In this time, she has worked to help meet the needs of older adults, as well as those of pregnant women and young children. She has also raised funds to ensure access to public media. However, her true calling is to the crisis intervention and healing services needed by victims of domestic violence. 

 

Tracie has spent half of her career serving as the executive director of domestic violence centers in Indiana and Florida.

 

Prior to moving to the area, she and her husband owned and operated a transport and logistic company serving the trailer manufacturing industry for 15 years.

 

Tracie holds a Bachelor of Science from Manchester University, a Certificate of Fundraising Management from Indiana University, and an Executive Fund Development Certificate from Notre Dame University.

 

In her downtime, Tracie enjoys spending time with her husband and their two spoiled Boykin Spaniels, relaxing at the beach, boating and fishing our beautiful bays, reading, and fulfilling her love of cooking.
