Sherrie was most recently a workforce development and community relations manager for a major retailer. Her focus over the course of three different careers included project management, process improvement, strategic planning, group facilitation and training.

As a YWCA Youth Director, she organized and coordinated activities for rural youth in Maine. While in this role, Sherrie started learning how she personally and in collaboration with others could work at eliminating racism. This focus was transformative and continues to inform how she shows up at work, in her community and with family and friends. Over the past 50 years, Sherrie has contributed thousands of volunteer hours to community based work in Maine, New York City, the Boston area and Washington, DC. Her current board service includes Riverview School and YWCA of the National Capital Area, in addition to MVCMA.
