Bio
Liz Fowler
Sarah is one of the most talented and effective managers I’ve ever met. She is a strong leader, sets bold and pragmatic goals, focuses on the mission, and she cares deeply about her team members and their professional development. She consistently delivers excellent results and expects the best of others - and so brings it out in them. I’ve learned so much from working with Sarah and seeing her leadership style at work. Thanks for all you do for the Cleveland Zoo Society!

I've had the pleasure of working with Sarah for more than a decade in a variety of roles. She is incredibly organized, thoughtful and knows how to handle a manic newsroom in a crisis. She's always willing to share her take on a story, and help me work through any issues. I appreciate that she sees her colleagues as people first, and understands that (especially in a newsroom) things change and we must adjust accordingly. She's reliable, thorough and unflappable. Plus, she's a great person to boot.
