Testimonials
“Sharon, it’s been a dream & blessing to have worked with you and to witness and be inspired by your leadership. I am so grateful to you for the generous mentorship you’ve given me and the priceless contributions you’ve made toward making Berkeley a more just place for artists and arts administrators of color and women. We wouldn’t have come this far without you.”
“My experience of Sharon’s performance as interim Executive Director sets the bar. She is a focused manager, a thoughtful partner to other organizational leaders, and an insightful executive in her own right. In short order, she is able to bring to bear the fullness of her experience to address the issues endemic to an organization in transition. Her perspective, recommendations, and ability to identify priorities are invaluable.”
I highly recommend Sharon for consideration as your interim Executive Director.
“I felt like I hit the jackpot! I joined a new nonprofit organization as the Executive Director in January 2022, and Sharon acted as my guide. Her experience and perspective made getting up to speed much more straightforward and structured than anticipated. I feel like Sharon laid the foundation for me to be able to succeed and, on top of it all, was a delight to work with! Thank you, Sharon!”
