The ESTBA Board of Directors are proud to introduce our new employee. Please welcome Michelle Fadely to our organization.
Michelle Fadely is excited to step into the role of Part Time Program Administrator with the East St. Tammany Business Alliance, supporting the Board with day to day operations, member communication, social media, recruiting, and sharing what makes ESTBA such a valuable organization for local business owners.
She is also a local Realtor with Engel & Völkers, specializing in working with Veterans and military families buy, sell, and manage property while making informed, strategic real estate decisions. As a certified Military Relocation Professional and MILESTATE member, Michelle brings extensive training and firsthand experience supporting service members and their families through relocations.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Michelle met her husband in 2006 and spent the next 12 years moving across the country as a military family. In 2018, they relocated to Slidell, where they were immediately welcomed by the East St. Tammany community. After her husband retired from the U.S. Coast Guard in 2024, their family officially set down roots, proudly calling Slidell their forever home.
Michelle is a proud mom of three boys (Ages from 23 to 11) and deeply committed to service, community, and giving back. She has received awards for her volunteerism as a Coast Guard Ombudsman, was nominated in 2018 for Armed Forces Military Spouse of the Year, and in 2015 organized and led a Relay for Life team made up of military members and spouses. That same year, after her oldest son fought cancer, she became a strong advocate for childhood cancer awareness and funding.
She has volunteered extensively with organizations including Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Association, Make-A-Wish, and Habitat for Humanity as a Rosie, along with supporting many local initiatives. Michelle was also featured in Social Northshore in 2022 as a Real Estate Rockstar and is a member of Steel Mimosas, where she enjoys learning about and supporting local nonprofits.
Supporting local businesses, serving the community, and giving back is what fuels Michelle. She is honored to be part of ESTBA and excited to help support and grow an organization that truly makes a difference for business owners and the community it serves.
