Sara Schmitz grew up in a small town in the Upper Midwest where she learned the value of community spirit and civic engagement. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Wisconsin – Stout, with a double major in Applied Mathematics and Business Administration. During her career as an Information Technology Executive, she led a team of 45 project managers and oversaw over $20M of projects. After moving from Minnesota to Danville, California in 2006, she embarked on a second career as a Realtor. At the same time she became actively involved with the local chamber of commerce as well as town, county, and state government. Sara and her husband spent their honeymoon in Tahoe and have been returning ever since. Since moving to the Incline Village/Crystal Bay community full-time, she has volunteered with the elementary school’s Read With Me program and the Boys & Girls Club. She’s also a part-time ski instructor, and founder of local non-profit Incline Village Crystal Bay Community 1st.
