💼✨ Staff Spotlight: Tracy, HR Director✨ 💼

Meet MCCAA’s HR Director! With more than 25 years of Human Resources experience, she has been connected to MCCAA since 2010 and officially rejoined the agency on October 15, 2025. Her journey with MCCAA has included multiple chapters of service, all rooted in a strong commitment to supporting staff and strengthening operations.

She enjoys the fast-paced nature of HR and working closely with internal teams, where no two days are ever the same. For her, MCCAA’s mission is about serving and advocating for those in need and staying true to the agency’s commitment to the “War on Poverty.”

She is especially proud of helping transform the HR Department and launching initiatives like onsite job fairs to connect community members directly with employment opportunities.

💛 Fun fact: she is a published poet, lifelong writer, and enjoys gardening in her free time!

She truly brings the staff spirit to MCCAA every day. Thank you for your commitment to MCCAA’s mission and for all that you do!🌟
