This award recognizes Powers’ tireless leadership in mentoring and elevating women within her organization and across the broader footwear community.

Through her work with Two Ten and its WIFI community, an industry-wide affinity group and professional network engaging thousands of women annually, Powers has been a consistent and influential advocate for women in footwear. She is a frequent speaker at WIFI events and has been a trusted mentor to countless women throughout her four decades at Nordstrom, generously sharing her experience and guidance to help others advance with confidence.

“Tacey sets a powerful example of leadership in our industry,” said Shawn Osborne, President and CEO of the Two Ten Footwear Foundation. “While building her own impressive career, she has always focused on opening doors for others and creating opportunities for women to be recognized, supported, and empowered. Her impact helps shape the exceptional culture at Nordstrom and reflects the values we champion through our WIFI community. We are proud to celebrate Tacey’s accomplishments and honor her with the 2026 WIFI Impact Award.”

Tacey joined the Two Ten Board of Directors in 2023 and has been a long-time champion of Two Ten and its mission to lift lives in footwear and celebrate women in the industry. In 2018, Two Ten presented her with the Social Impact Award in recognition of her philanthropic leadership at Nordstrom and beyond. In addition to her work with Two Ten, Powers sits on the boards of the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA) and Shoes That Fit, a nonprofit organization that provides children with new, properly fitting shoes.

"I am honored to receive the 2026 WIFI Impact Award from the Two Ten Footwear Foundation. Throughout my journey in the footwear industry, I've been inspired every day by the passion, resilience, and talent of the women around me, from our dedicated teams at Nordstrom to the incredible brand partners I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years,” said Tacey Powers, EVP and GMM of Shoes, Accessories, Home, and Kids at Nordstrom. “Thank you to Two Ten for this recognition, and for your unwavering commitment to advancing women in footwear."
