as the president of the company and also serves as an inspirational figure for Tracy. “Loren’s an incredible person who gives back to the community and treats people with respect. She has been a great example for me to follow,” Tracy said. Over the years, Tracy has found a deep sense of purpose in inspiring others through her own experiences and serving as a source of motivation for those around her. “When you think about everything that goes into planting, harvesting, packaging and the journey it takes to get product to the store, what strikes me most is the hard work everyone puts into the process,“ she said. “It’s fun to create ownership for our employees and make them realize that they’re part of this big, amazing system. Helping to inspire everyone to take accountability for their own scope of work within that system is extremely rewarding.” Tracy brings that same sense of purpose to the Western Growers Board of Directors and is optimistic that her unique background can provide a valuable advantage to future discussions. “Western Growers is a wonderful organization and puts in a tremendous amount of work that farmers normally wouldn’t have the time to do,” she said. “It’s an honor to be a part of a brotherhood and sisterhood of farmers, where we can come together and share our experiences and guidance for a greater cause.”
