2023-2024   NEW CLUB BUILDING / GROWTH

Michelle Cormier
I was born and raised in Billings, MT and graduated high school in 1986. During high school I was an exchange student and lived in Columbia South America. This led to a lifelong love of travel and
eventually a Bachelor Degree in International Studies. I lived in El Salvador Central America for a year during college and then returned to the US.

I became a licensed real estate agent in 2013. Prior to that I was a business owner and manager for the last 20 years. When I returned to the United States, I ran a landscaping company in Seattle Washington.

Several years later I returned home to take over my family’s businesses. I ran a live music night club and a property management company in Billings, MT until 2013.

I was always very involved in the Billings community as a business owner and served as a founding board member of the Business Improvement District in downtown Billings. I was on the Board for 10 years and served as Board Chair during my last year of service. I am very active in my church and currently serve as a board member of the First Presbyterian Foundation.

I have been a member of the Billings Breakfast Optimist Club for 4 years and have served on the board for the last 2 years. I am the current President .  I travel to as many Optimist Conventions and zone meetings as I can fit in my schedule and can’t believe how much the Optimists have enhanced my life.

My ex-husband and I have 4 children in our blended family and five grandchildren.

In 2017 we revitalized a building constructed in 1904 on the Billings original townsite and Historic District.

I now live in one of the coolest newly renovated downtown loft apartments in town. I love living in the hustle and bustle of downtown Billings.
