Alice White has long been a cornerstone of the North Port community, seamlessly blending roles as an educator, environmental advocate, and civic leader.

 

Her journey began in the classroom, where she inspired countless students with her passion for mathematics.

 

Transitioning from education, Alice founded People for Trees in 1997, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and enhancing North Port's natural beauty.

 

Under her leadership, the organization has spearheaded numerous tree-planting initiatives, fostering a greener, more sustainable environment.

 

In 2024, Alice's commitment to community engagement took a new turn as she assumed the role of Mayor of North Port.

 

Her tenure has been marked by initiatives aimed at strengthening the bond between residents and local government.

 

Notably, she co-hosted the "Coffee & Conversation" event on July 16, 2024, at K and K Bakery, providing a platform for open dialogue between citizens and city officials.

 

Beyond her official duties, Alice remains deeply involved in community events.

 

She played a pivotal role in the 13th annual Tour de North Port, held in October 2024, where over 300 cyclists explored the city's scenic routes.

 

Her presence underscored the event's mission to promote environmental awareness and healthy living.

 

In April 2025, Alice's dedication to inclusivity was evident as she supported the North Port Police Department's annual event for Autism Awareness.

 

Held at the Garden of the Five Senses, the event aimed to provide resources and foster understanding for individuals on the autism spectrum.

 

Through her multifaceted contributions, Alice White embodies the spirit of North Port, championing education, environmental stewardship, and community engagement.

 

Her unwavering dedication continues to inspire and shape the city's vibrant future.
