Beth Suhr

Since moving to Charlotte in 2013, Beth has happily lived in Uptown, taking full advantage of a life where walking, biking, and riding the light rail are part of her everyday routine.

Her education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Coastal Carolina University and a Master of Arts in Public Policy from SUNY Stony Brook. A three-term AmeriCorps alum, she has been working in nonprofits across the country for nearly 20 years, primarily with Habitat for Humanity in New York and North Carolina, and United Way. She is an avid volunteer and a graduate of the City of Charlotte’s former Civic Leadership Academy, CMPD’s Citizens Academy, and the Community Building Initiative’s Leaders Under 40 program.

When she’s not working, Beth is likely on a greenway, in a thrift store, taking a class to learn something new, or dreaming up her next reason to bring people together, whether that’s a celebration, a service project, or a good old-fashioned community gathering.
