Joan Eich
Events Manager

Eich is the wife of a military retiree, mother of two and grandmother of three. In 1986, after sixteen years of trying to get to Colorado Springs, the U.S. Air Force finally granted her wish by stationing her husband here. Eich worked as a property claims adjuster for eleven years and traveled across the U.S. to work catastrophes such as fires, hail and hurricanes. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Regis University. Although Joan’s true obsessions are her granddaughters, she also enjoys gardening, reading, great food and animals. She always loved the United States of America but, having lived in and traveled to other countries, her appreciation for the U.S. Constitution has deepened.
