I had the distinct honor of serving as Mayor of Frisco during the formative years of the city, managing an explosive population growth of 300%. Since then, I have watched closely as Tammy Meinershagen has become a key catalyst in Frisco's growth to become a great, sustainable, well-rounded city. 

 

Tammy is a public servant who has served on multiple boards and committees since 2012. While Tammy champions public investment in the arts, she also recognizes the business value and economic impact of the creative sector. Tammy’s innovative and collaborative work has allowed thousands of Frisco citizens of all ages and cultures to engage in the arts. What makes these accomplishments even more unique is the fact that they did not exist before Tammy; she saw a cultural gap that needed to be filled in Frisco, and she worked to fill it, bringing others with her along the way. 

​

Not only is Tammy smart and intuitive, she is a natural, engaging leader. Her positive energy and charisma are infectious; she consistently brings diverse people together to develop ideas from inception to completion successfully. With her "can-do" spirit, she never wavers in her determination to get things done and done right, even with challenges along the way.  Tammy represents the best that Frisco has to offer, and without her transformative leadership, Frisco would not be what it is today.  She is an inspiration and asset to the Frisco City Council, keeping Frisco moving in the right direction.
