Roberta Heiman

Founded in 2009, the Evansville-Area Trails Coalition (ETC) was formed through Roberta Heiman’s passion to improve Evansville’s quality of life and the lack of a connected trails system within the Evansville area region. Roberta worked to build a coalition of members comprised of more than 20 different organizations, agencies, advocacy groups and city and county government offices.

Roberta has remained a dedicated advocate serving within the board of directors in many capacities, from past president, Streets Alive! Committee Chair and an at-large board member.

As a 42-year staff writer for the Courier & Press, and a long-time Evansville community leader, Roberta has bettered the lives of many underprivileged individuals and families and is a pillar in the effort for our connected trails network system. Robert’s heart for community members to have safe, connected places to live healthy, active lives will be carried on by ETC’s Board of Directors and staff.

Roberta continues as one of ETC’s advisory board members and supports the work of ETC. Thank you, Roberta, for your many years of dedicated service to ETC’s mission!
