Michelle Haworth

Executive Director

Originally from Kentucky, Michelle brings more than fifteen years of experience in program leadership, stakeholder engagement, and mission-driven strategy to her role as Executive Director of Commissioned by Christ (CBC). Her dedication to service began at the University of Kentucky (B.A. Communications), where volunteer work with Catholic Social Services, Shriners Children’s Hospital, and Habitat for Humanity inspired a lifelong passion for community and global outreach.

After serving with the Peace Corps in Tunisia, Michelle deepened her commitment to international service and cross-cultural collaboration. She later earned an M.S. in Business/Technology Management from Johns Hopkins University, blending nonprofit leadership with expertise in organizational strategy and global project management.

Since joining CBC in 2015, Michelle has guided the organization through significant growth—expanding mission participation, strengthening partnerships, and implementing systems that enhance engagement and sustainability. She is passionate about forming servant leaders and ensuring every mission experience reflects dignity, compassion, and authentic encounter.

Michelle and her husband, Pedro, are parishioners of Church of the Nativity in Burke, Virginia, and are blessed with four children.
