Stacy Travis, owner of Town Planner of NWI, is a lifelong resident of Northwest Indiana. Having grown up in the area, raised a family here, and operated her business since 2009, Stacy knows Northwest Indiana. With over thirty years of experience in advertising and marketing, Stacy is passionate about supporting the growth of local businesses in Northwest Indiana.
The best part of my job is meeting with business owners and their staff, hearing their stories of how they started their business and how it has evolved, and then working together to grow their business! It is a partnership I take seriously. The relationships I build and the business growth that I support are my passions.
My family has deep roots in Northwest Indiana. My father and both of my grandfathers worked in steel mills. I grew up in Highland, Indiana, and it is where I met my husband. My family and I now call Schererville home. I’m a Northwest Indiana girl at heart, as a lifelong resident. When it came time to make a career for myself, I wanted a role that would give back to the community and enhance Northwest Indiana.
Ultimately, these two goals prompted me to start Town Planner of NWI in 2009 when my kids were small. This business allowed me the flexibility to spend more time with my children and attend their school events. I soon found that I was making business connections across Northwest Indiana and helping small business owners set and achieve the goals vital to their growth and success.
Now that my kids are grown, I am grateful for the opportunity to volunteer and continue to give back to the community. I have found my work with CASA, as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, to be the most meaningful of my volunteer activities.
I am also a member of the Crown Point, Crossroads, Duneland, Highland/Griffith, Schererville, St. John/Dyer and Valparaiso Chambers of Commerce.
I have a Communications Degree from Indiana University-Bloomington and a Master’s Degree in Public Affairs from Indiana University-South Bend.
Stacy was recently named Marketing & Media Influential Woman of the Year by NWI Influential Women’s Association, as well as Town Planner’s Publisher of the Year.
