Michele Glimpse

Phoenix

Profession: Massage Therapist, Musician

Fellowship Track:  Non-Profit Organization Leadership/Advocacy

Motivation: For more than the last decade, I have followed local and national politics to an extreme.  I consider myself progressive in my values and up-to-date on almost every elected officials positions as they relate to these values.  It seems obvious with each passing day that unless new leadership is put in place within the next decade, Arizona and America may indeed become more conservative in nature than ever believed possible. 

As a mother of two, I am committed to my children growing up  in a country where they can still aspire to make their dreams a reality…and live in an environment of clean air, equal opportunity and justice for all.  My motivation is to discover where I best fit to make this a reality for all children.

Volunteer Highlights: Madison School District Classroom Volunteer

Leadership Interests: Over the years, those close to me have witnessed my passion for politics, the political process, and my disappointment in the current political landscape of our state and country.  They helped me to realize that my future direction lies somewhere between advocacy work and political organizing – and possibly even running for office one day.  My passion right now is saving our environment from any more harm, but I must first garner all the information I need to set a plan into action.

CPL-AZ Mentor: Kate Whelan; Public Policy Director with the Arizona League of Conservation Voters
