Nancy Parker Tice

Nancy Parker Tice has spent her life making communities and organizations stronger. She has a demonstrated history of success in the non-profit sector including financial management, operations, human resources, and fund development. She is a public policy professional skilled in policy development, analysis, and policy making.

Since April 2019 she has served as Alderwoman of Ward 1 in the City of Brentwood. She serves on the Ways and Means and the Public Works Committees of the Board. She pushed the board to enact new ordinances for water run-off during new construction, led the push for park expansion in Ward 1, and is a diligent voice monitoring budget for the Brentwood Bound project. 

After college Tice worked in Washington, DC for former Majority Leader Richard Gephardt where she worked with coalitions to negotiate legislation, solved constituent legislative problems, and developed a passion for working to make the community a better place for all. She brought that passion to St. Louis where she was in charge of governmental relations for Washington University School of Medicine for over a decade. In that role, she worked to expand access to health care for children, oversaw successful passage of physician licensure and Medicaid rate increases at the state level, advocated issues such as expand medical research funding and Medicare payment policy at the federal level, and coordinated lobbying efforts for the School of Medicine. 

Tice also is an active volunteer. In 1995 she joined the board of Rainbow Village (now Promise Community Homes), eventually becoming board chair. While board chair she initiated a marketing and rebranding initiative that launched the organization into a capital campaign, oversaw the completion of a newly constructed green community home, expanded partnerships with other support service agencies, and helped the organization grow from 13 to 88 community homes, providing homes for more than 300 individuals with developmental disabilities. She has served on the board of NCCJ since 2004, becoming board chair of this organization at a critical time in the organization’s history and worked diligently to restructure the staffing model, advance fundraising, and initiate long-term planning.

In 2022, she was the co-chair of SLUH’s Cashbah auction, which raised a record $1.5 million for scholarships so the school can conduct need-blind admissions.
