Meet the Team!

Erin Kelley: Chair

Erin has been a human rights activist all through her adulthood.  She feels incredibly lucky to come of age in the time of President Barack Obama, when she first joined political campaigning in Butler County in 2008.  She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Slippery Rock University and has done post-baccalaureate studies at CCBC and Youngstown State University for Civil and Environmental Engineering.  

She currently works as an account manager for a global logistics company.  She hopes to finish her unexpected journey of spending meaningful time in all sixty-seven Pennsylvania counties in the near future.  In her rare but valuable free time, you can find her swimming, building Legos, and cheering from the stands for Pitt Football with her nephews.

She feels privileged to serve as Chair for the next four years.
