Tracey Harty
Tracey Harty is a freelance marketing and communications consultant who became interested in historic preservation when her Salt Lake City neighborhood decided to pursue a local historic district designation.

She in turn ran for City Council and narrowly lost, but has since established a non-profit foundation to continue educating residents and encouraging preservation of the neighborhood. A new, smarter pursuit for designation is in the works. Tracey holds a BA in Mass Communication from the University of Utah, and enjoys putting her skills to work for causes like AiP.
