Bartholomew County Council - At Large
Michelle CarrMichelle Carr has been a lifelong resident of Bartholomew County, Indiana. She has worked in the customer service industry for the majority of her career. She took this passion in serving others and in 2014 she ventured into pre-k education, eventually focusing on helping kids with learning disabilities. The knowledge she gained from these experiences only increased her passion to serve her community.
Michelle carried a lifelong passion about the environment, with a single goal to make the world a better place for her family, friends, and neighbors. When her life placed her into a position that she needed to be at home to be more available for her family, she began searching for small ways to make a large impact. It was at this time she first discovered the power of social media. With little experience in the field of social media, she searched for like-minded spirits and joined groups that aligned with her passions. Through multiple grassroots efforts, she worked to help amplify their voices and make connections with those doing the work. Since 2016, she has been very active in volunteering in organizations that range from local to national levels. She actively volunteers with nonprofit grassroots organizations that are working to the betterment of our community, state and country, such as Hoosier Chapter Sierra Club, Winding Waters Sierra Club, Energy Matters Community Coalition, Climate Reality Leaders and Bartholomew County Democratic Party. What started as a small opportunity to learn social media and give voice to the voiceless, turned into using her abilities to help these groups extend their outreach and stand up for the rights of others. Michelle currently serves on the Hoosier Chapter Sierra Club’s Executive Committee, and began doing so in 2017. Through her effective volunteerism and leadership, she was elected as their Vice Chair and served from Jan 2019 - Dec 2021. She has served as the Hoosier Chapter’s Communication Chair since August 2019. She has also served on Sierra Club’s local Winding Waters Group Executive Committee since 2016. Where the Hoosier Chapter focuses to help the state’s environment, Winding Waters Group works within the community and supports initiatives that directly impacts her neighbors. |
