Staff Profile

Get to Know … Tracy Banks, Administrative Manager

Years with IA&B:

42 years. Started on June 23, 1980.

Role at IA&B:

I’m responsible in a support capacity for various administrative, operations, and finance functions. These include HR, office administration, volunteer and governance functions, payroll, accounts payable processing, and corporate records maintenance.

Best part of your job:

Working with a great staff and getting to know our members over the many years I have been here. When I started in 1980 with PIA [a precursor to IA&B], there were nine staff. Now we have 24.

Favorite IA&B memory:

Years ago, our staff was treated to a bus trip to NYC to take in a Broadway Show and have a wonderful dinner together. It was a fantastic trip!

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Spending time with family and friends. I enjoy antiquing, concerts, wineries, trips to the beach, and traveling overseas to see family in England. I love to garden and relax at home around the pool. I also love to crochet, cook, and bake. And I always decorate for the holidays. I put on a haunted house display for the kiddos every year (adults seem to enjoy it too) and a nice Christmas lights display as well.
