The Children’s Cabinet this month announced Tracey Woods as a new board member for the Reno-based nonprofit.
Before retirement in 2020, Woods served as the Senior Director of Government Affairs for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, according to a March 1 press release.
“We are excited to welcome Tracey to the board,” Kim Young, Executive Director for The Children’s Cabinet, said in a statement. “Her professional experience and enthusiasm for the community will provide so much to The Children’s Cabinet and we are looking forward to all we can accomplish in Nevada.”
A graduate of UCLA, Woods started her career with the Dolphin Group, a Los Angeles-based public affairs firm where she managed both legislative and regulatory issues for Kraft Foods, Miller Brewing and Philip Morris USA.
In 2003 she accepted a position with Forum Strategies and developed state and national public affairs programs for Mars, Inc. (now Masterfoods), and in 2005 she joined the Retail Association of Nevada as Vice President of Government Affairs responsible for all legislative activity.
Woods has served on many boards and community organizations including The Nevada Discovery Museum, The Nevada Women’s Fund, and the Nevada Division of Insurance Life and Health.
“I am thrilled to be part of the Board of Trustees for The Children’s Cabinet,” Woods stated. “I am looking forward to contributing to the growth of this organization to continue to serve youth and families in need through all stages of childhood.”
