Hello, I’m Stacy Smith & I’m the Director of NyE Communities Coalition. I have lived in Pahrump since 1991 and have
been visiting the community since the late 70’s. Many of my family members have relocated here also, so in addition
to my husband- Larry, daughter- Jill and son -Jake, I have siblings, nieces, nephews and my mom along with many
friends who live here. As a result I’m really invested in seeing this area become a healthy and successful community.
I have been in social service jobs since college, focusing mostly on addiction treatment until the coalition formed in
2001 and I went to work for the school district, coordinating the coalition and prevention programming. I’m fortunate in
that I enjoy my job & I’m challenged on a daily basis. Plus, I work with great people – both in the office and across the
communities of Nye and Esmeralda. Please stop by the office and visit if you haven’t already!

I have been a part of the Pahrump community since 1997 and have lived in the state of Nevada since
1981. I am proud of my two sons PJ who is 22 and Jacob who is 18 – I don’t know how they got so old
so fast! I have been blessed to be a part of the coalition since it began. I served on the Managing
Board as Treasurer and have worked in various staff positions. I am a Substance
Abuse Prevention Specialist and Community Educator regarding the use and abuse
of various substances. I feel lucky to work for NyECC and with some of the best
people around, both the staff members and members of the community in general.
My time with the school district and the coalition has enabled me to increase my
knowledge and to use that knowledge to work within the communities in Nye and
Esmeralda counties. I provide education and trainings to community partners,
organizations, and businesses throughout the counties. I also have the pleasure of
coordinating NyECC’s general and tri-annual meetings, the Substances of Abuse
Task Force and Assessment, Planning and Evaluation (fondly called the APE)
Committee.

A San Bernardino, CA native, I re-located to Pahrump three years ago with my husband Dave. I have been a happy
NyE Communities Coalition Employee for two years. My area is working on children’s health projects such as fitness,
nutrition, and dental health.
I retired from Southern California Gas Company after 27 years in various customer service positions. My favorite was
customer service representative instructor. It was fun being a “pretend customer” calling in with some hairy situations.
After two years of travels in our 5th wheel, we settled in Yucaipa, CA and I became director of the Yucaipa Chamber of
Commerce for four years.
We have 3 children, 4 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Our kids are getting old!
Love my job and co-workers. Life is good.

Hellooooooooooooo! I am Tammy Moore; I am the Financial Coordinator for NCC. When I first started with NCC I was
a volunteer with no idea of what a coalition is. After volunteering for 3 months I was offered the position of part time
coalition assistant. Within 3 more months my position became full time and has evolved over the last five years into a
job that I truly love. I have been a resident of Pahrump on and off for 20 years. On and off meaning, I have moved
away 4 times and every time something brings me back. Pahrump has changed so much, for the better and I believe a
large part of that is the work that NCC is doing in our communities. When I was younger I can honestly say that I was a
contributor to so many problems that our communities face today. But with 14 years of recovery under my belt I am
proud to be a part of the effort to make this community a happier, healthier place to live.
