Women Together launched a new virtual speaker series called Shattering Glass Ceilings, which highlights women leaders from various industries across the Central Valley. Attendees hear from women who have successfully moved up their organizational ladders to advance their careers. Attendees also have the opportunity to ask questions and make connections.
On July 7th from 5:30pm-7:00pm, we will hear from our fourth speaker, the Honorable Nancy Young. After serving as a Tracy City Council Member and Mayor Pro Tem for eight years, the Honorable Nancy Young was elected as Mayor in November 2020. She is the first African American and first woman elected as Mayor of Tracy.
Mayor Young's focus is to place more focus on bringing new business and jobs to Tracy, while nurturing existing businesses; strengthening the City's public safety; advocating for affordable housing, and addressing youth and senior needs.
Mayor Young founded His Image Fremont Youth Group and Women of Integrity. Later she mentored through The Young Scholars Program in Oakland, which assisted teens through the pre- through post-college process and experience. Throughout her children’s education, she has been a home school teacher, school volunteer, math tutor, class mom and avid supporter of her children’s sports and entrepreneurial efforts.
Mayor Young has authored seven published books. She attained her Bachelor's degree in Mass Communications from UC Berkeley, a Master's in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix, a Doctorate in Theology from Good News Seminary and Bible College, a Minister's License from Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, and Ordination as Pastor from Shield of Faith International.
