- Rhea Beddoe,  Director of Community Engagement & Experiences, Society of Family Planning 

"Sheryl came highly recommended from a non profit association colleague when I needed someone to lead the onsite AV supervision at an Annual Meeting. 

Since then, she has served as the AV liaison for the last 4 conferences I have produced. She goes above and beyond to ensure every technical piece of the meeting AV runs seamlessly. She has a knack for translating AV nerd speak, works closely with the lead tech to ensure all operators help staff and faculty feel comfortable presenting, and keeping sessions on time and smooth. From managing multiple dress rehearsals to testing over 75 slide decks, Sheryl is a thorough professional. 

My team appreciates having her onsite and she is an invaluable contributor to the success of our live events. The unique bonus of working with Sheryl is she speaks events and brings that mindset to her work. If you want to solve a problem, ask a planner. Sheryl has bought her years of experience in meeting design onsite helping to navigate hiccups not just on the AV front, but in other areas including hotel management and staffing needs."

"Sheryl become a professor and mentor to me when I decided to make a career change into the Meetings and Events Industry. Throughout the entire process she provided industry best practice knowledge, networking opportunities and encouraged me to pursue my Masters degree at George Washington University as well as pursue my CGMP and CMP. Sheryl does an superb job providing career advice, constructive feedback and encouragement.

I also had the pleasure of working along side Sheryl as a colleague supporting two conferences in 2018 and 2019. I have witnessed Sheryl gain the professional respect of hotel staff, vendors, exhibitors, volunteers and the client to ensure a smooth experience for all stakeholders and attendees. Sheryl treats everyone with respect and goes above and beyond to ensure the event will be successful.

Sheryl is an excellent teacher as she makes the material relatable while also providing appropriate rigor to challenge the student. If provided the opportunity I would not hesitate to work with Sheryl on future projects. I am grateful and honored to call her my mentor. "
