Tracie Patten Credentials Tracie has been a corporate communicator for almost 30 years, with a career working for several corporations, a non-profit and an advertising agency in public relations, advertising and marketing. However, what Tracie’s even more passionate about is helping women find hope in hardship. Learning from her own difficult times, she believes that the older you get, the more opportunities you have to find joy in and change your response to life’s trials. Tracie has been a ministry leader for 11 years in Celebrate Recovery, a biblically-based 12-step program focusing on healing from past hurts, hang ups or habits, and has presented her testimony to women’s groups, churches and conferences in Nevada and Ohio. She also serves on the Board of Out of Darkness, an anti-trafficking outreach and rescue organization, providing immediate short-term crisis stabilization to transition exploited adult women into long-term programs. Tracie is currently the Director of Public Relations for Nationwide, with two beautiful daughters, Mia (17) and Ava (12).
