A proven Truckee Tahoe Airport Board member, who takes her fiduciary duties seriously.

She deserves to the reelected.
Thank you for your great perspective and work on our behalf!! KTRK is a vital resource and I’m grateful for your leadership as both and aviator and a community member.
Thank you for your great help with TRK airport.
Teresa understands what a unique and fortunate community resource the airport district is, centered around a beautiful airport whose scale is appropriate to the community it serves. Her no-nonsense leadership is exactly what is needed to preserve the broad scale community advantages that the airport district represents, serving a community made up of aviators, recreationists, retirees, working people and families. I support Teresa’s re-election.
I have known Teresa since I first moved to North Lake Tahoe in 1991 and as a long-time resident of this area, I absolutely recommend choosing her for re-election. Teresa is not only a long-time local and graduate of North Tahoe High, she is extremely business savvy and is the owner a successful business here for 25+ years. Teresa is a straight-shooter and is not a pilot which gives her a unique place on the board to make solid decisions that are fair and balanced. She is also a number-cruncher and knows how to make sure the board is being transparent in all their decisions to represent the community and important community needs. I ask you to vote to re-elect her in 2024 election!
Teresa has proven her leadership and strong decision making skills and is deserving of re-election to provide a balanced approach. She is not a pilot, but has shown a strong understanding of aviation issues, with a commitment to safety, noise reduction and community benefit to users and non-users of the airport. As a local with decades of board and community involvement experience and a small business background, Teresa has earned my support and vote. She is a strong voice for Placer County and all residents around the Lake Tahoe Basin.
I love that Teresa recognizes that the airport is part of the larger Truckee/North Tahoe community. As a lakeside resident for many years, she sees the part TTAD plays in supporting our economy and everyday life here. I know that she cares about aviation needs and safety at the airport, but she also sees the value in investing more broadly in what our community needs.
I strongly support Teresa and feel that she is the ideal candidate to represent our area as a board member for the Truckee Airport District. She is a life long resident of the area and has shown a strong commitment to making our wonderful area a better place to live.
Teresa’s integrity is bar none. She puts her business acumen to the service of the community she cares deeply about.
A dedicated and experienced member of the Truckee Tahoe Airport Board, Teresa upholds her fiduciary duties with integrity. She excels at balancing the Airport’s interests with those of the community, thoughtfully prioritizing safety, environmental stewardship, and the needs of all stakeholders. She is well-deserving of reelection.
Candidate Statement
I would like to thank all my supporters and ask you to vote for me again for the Truckee Tahoe Airport District (TTAD).
I believe we need a thriving Airport to support the general aviation needs of the entire region. The noise and annoyance issue must be balanced with the $80+ million dollars brought into our community annually from the direct and indirect impact of airport operations.
As a North Tahoe High School graduate, I am a true local and no stranger to the growth and changes that have occurred in the District. As the founder of O’Dette Mortgage Group over 25 years ago, I not only have the experience, but understand our ever-changing business climate and the need for balanced decision-making at this critical time for the Airport District.

Experience
I am currently a member of the five-person board of The Truckee Tahoe Airport District (TTAD), serving since 2016. I am neither a pilot, nor an aviator, but a long-time local, raised in Tahoe City with a lifelong commitment to the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee communities and a deep belief in the civic obligation to serve.
Balance
I believe smart growth is the way forward for our communities and the TTAD. Finding balance between nature, quality of life and smart economic growth is a top priority. Growth versus noise abatement is a sensitive issue while the Truckee Tahoe airport provides over $80 million of economic impact from airport operations to the region.
Integrity
I hold a deep belief in the obligation to serve to the best of my ability. I believe that developing relationships and building consensus is key to operating the airport efficiently to drive the economies of Truckee and the North Lake Tahoe region.
