Sharon Miller stepped up and found time in her busy schedule to replace our original VP of Education. Sharon has performed superbly at the difficult job of creating and coordinating our club schedule. Sharon facilitated very productive club Survey and Education Schedule initiatives. Sharon has delivered excellent education speeches to the club at the cost of achieving her personal TM goals. In general, Sharon assumed a big workload this year and delivered quality results. Sharon has been supportive and attentive and her sacrifices and dedication have made our club better and stronger. Sharon has served above and beyond her the role as Education VP. She is helpful in setting up mentors, preparing for educational meetings, and always helping to step in when there is a need for help.
Congratulations, Sharon.
