Tracie Sharp is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the State Policy Network (SPN), a national nonprofit organization and network of over 60 conservative and libertarian state-level think tanks across the United States. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, SPN provides its member organizations with guidance on fundraising, nonprofit management, and communicating policy ideas to advance free-market principles. Sharp joined SPN in 2005 as Vice President of Finance and Operations before becoming President in 2013, leading the organization until her recent transition. Under her leadership, SPN emphasized collaborative efforts among state think tanks to influence policy on issues such as education, healthcare, and economic freedom, and became a major beneficiary and strategic partner of DonorsTrust funds. Prior to her tenure at SPN, Sharp held positions in the policy and nonprofit sectors with organizations aligned with conservative causes and has collaborated professionally with figures such as Tom Giovanetti, President of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a prominent SPN member. Her career reflects a commitment to fostering networks of influence for limited government and market-oriented policies, though detailed personal background information remains limited in public records.
