Episode Notes
Betsy Price, a Fort Worth native, was elected as the 44th Mayor of the City of Fort Worth on June 18, 2011. Price has been an active leader in the Fort Worth community for years, serving on numerous boards, commissions and professional associations. After running her own successful title company for 17 years, Price turned to public service.
Since taking office as Mayor, Price has initiated a broad agenda founded in the values of fiscal responsibility, accessibility, transparency and accountability. More specifically, Price focuses her work on the basics of any growing city to ensure sustainability for future generations by promoting grassroots public engagement, supporting economic development and championing public education.
Instead of sitting in cars, on the couch or in the office, Price believes in a community that naturally promotes physical activity throughout the day. Price, an avid cyclist, decided to use her love of cycling to initiate not only a wellness movement in the City, but an opportunity to break the mold of the traditional often boring town hall meeting with a casual — and active — way for residents to connect with this city's elected leaders, thus her Rolling Town Hall was born.
As the City's second female mayor and longest serving mayor, Price believes that women are an integral part of the community and should be more engaged. Her newest initiative--The Appointments Project--is an effort to increase the number of women serving on civic boards and commissions. The Appointments Project hopes to help women navigate the appointment process and engage elected officials to make appointments that reflect their communities.
Price continues to make time for the things that are truly important to her: family, faith and fitness. She has been married to Tom, an insurance agent, for more than 40 years and has three children. Price is also a proud grandmother to her six grandchildren. She has learn to place boundaries on her time in order to keep her priorities in line. From Friday night date nights with her husband, to Sunday family time, Price continues to place importance where importance is due.
