Michalski joined the staff of the [[GANNON CENTER]] in 1986 as an administrative assistant. She was promoted to human resources director in 1989 and also served as the center's grant writer, participant in community outreach, and legislative liaison. The center's outreach into Clinton County in 1998 caused her to postpone her retirement to serve as the interim director in Clinton. (1) She retired in 1998. In the 1980s and 1990s, she also served as an Adjunct Professor of Religion at Clarke University and Loras.

	Ann was a dedicated community activist and advocate for many issues. She was a member of the Mental Health America Board.

In 1996, she was elected to the Dubuque City Council and served three terms, leaving office in 2007. Her principle commitments as city council member were to coalition-building, advocacy for the voiceless, and promotion of quality of life. She was especially proud of having worked to pass a Human Rights ordinance protecting the LGBT community, and to re-open Main Street in downtown Dubuque.
