Bio
Sue Skavlem
Tracy is personable and relatable. I highly recommend working with her - she'll be an advocate for you and your business. I met Tracy when I signed up for the FMWF Chamber (which I also recommend checking out!). But she didn't stop at just selling me a membership. Tracy knows what's important to businesses. She introduced me to groups that would be beneficial, and recommends my services whenever she sees a need! If you're an entrepreneur - work with Tracy. She's a good person to have on your team!

Tracy is absolutely one of my favorite television account executives to work with. It is obvious that she cares about the performance of our client. She is always helpful and has a can-do attitude.
