20 Under 40: Clara Ehrhart ’15

Clara Ehrhart ’15 has been singing in choirs since the sixth grade. At Quincy High School, she said, “I was pretty much in every choir group there was.” She also sang in the University Choir for four years at IWU and is now a member of the Quincy Symphony Chorus.

Those musical experiences have meant a lot to Ehrhart, so she’s now giving back through her volunteer efforts. For example, she helps the QHS Music Department whenever she can, and she’s a member of Encore! — the Quincy Symphony Orchestra Association’s volunteer council. Ehrhart also does volunteer work for the Quincy Community Theatre, United Way of Adams County and other organizations.

As a trust officer at Mercantile Bank, Ehrhart is encouraged to become involved in the community. So she serves on the boards of Sunset Home and the Michelmann Foundation, the charitable arm of Michelmann Steel Construction Co. — a business headed by her mother, who has been an inspirational role model for Ehrhart.

Clara has recently been recognized by her home community of Quincy as one of their 20 Under 40! She speaks of her job, community, successes, and more in an interview of which you may read more of here: http://www.whig.com/20170924/20-under-40-clara-ehrhart#

Congratulations, Clara!
