Michelle Eckman has been associated with CRCJ since 2013 when she was the staff representative to the organization for an affiliate member.
Her goal to work more closely with CRCJ was realized in March of 2020 when she was hired to serve on the staff.
Michelle supports the organization in all areas with particular focus on organizational policies and practices including the coordination of our Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and strategic planning initiatives.
Michelle has spent her entire career in conservation and the environment. She was one of twenty-seven North American fellows in the eeCapacity Community Climate Change Fellowship program from 2014-2017.
She marched with Common Ground High School in the first People’s Climate March in 2014, which happened to be organized by her future CRCJ supervisor, Aziz Dehkan!
For more than 20 years, Michelle has developed, delivered, and evaluated climate-based environmental education programs for K12 students, educators and administrators in New Mexico, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
In her free time, Michelle hikes with her two dogs, Briscoe and Trixie; tends to her ridiculous amount of orchids and other indoor plants.
She spends a lot of time researching and implementing practices at home to reduce her carbon footprint including growing as much of her own food as possible, composting, thrift shopping when she needs something; and sharing her passion for climate justice with friends and family.
