About
Carolyn Umphrey was elected to the Sierra Vista City Council in 2018 and prides herself on putting community priorities first.
Carolyn's love of Sierra Vista started in 2006, when her husband, Tim Umphrey, was stationed at Fort Huachuca to conclude five years of service in the United States Army. They quickly fell in love with the community, weather, and mountain views and, in 2008, chose to make Sierra Vista their home.
Council Member Umphrey has served as the council liaison to the West End Commission and the Arts and Humanities Commission. Currently, she serves as the Chair of the Sierra Vista Metropolitan Planning Organization, as a primary for the Upper San Pedro Partnership, as a board member for the Rural Transportation Advocacy Council, as a member of the Military Communities Council for the National League of Cities, and on the Budget, Finance, and Economic Development Committee for League of Arizona Cities and Towns.
Carolyn is the proud mother of two school-aged Sierra Vistians, a successful businesswoman, and a volunteer. She serves as the treasurer for the Education Foundation of Sierra Vista, treasurer for the 1200 Club of Greater Sierra Vista, and is a proud member of the Sierra Vista Area Chamber of Commerce, the Sierra Vista Historical Society, Sierra Vista Symphony Association, 100 Women Who Care–Sierra Vista Communities, and NAMI Southeastern Arizona.
Carolyn believes when you love something, you take care of it, which is why she ran for Sierra Vista City Council, to take care of the people and place she loves.
