Bio
Chad McGrath
I have had the pleasure of working with Sharon over the past two years. Her passion is inspiring and her follow-through is unmatched. I have enjoyed our time thinking about better ways to do something and the impact that it will have on our team, our division, and our community. I could not have asked for a better partner in the work that we are doing.

CEOs of Tomorrow partners with many companies daily, and Sharon Neylon is among the best company representatives I have had the pleasure of working with. It has been through my position as the Founding Executive Director of CEOs of Tomorrow, Inc. that I have had the honor of working directly with her. Our mission is to transform youth innovators and problem solvers into young social entrepreneurs who shape and influence their world. Sharon was assigned as our primary contact from the American Family Institute of Corporate and Social Impact four years ago when the company first became a funding-partner of our organization. From the start, her unique list of strengths revealed an individual who not only works effectively with our team of diverse leaders, but also has a personal commitment to making the world a better place. As a creative thought partner, she has provided program ideas and solutions that have helped us to successfully grow one of our most popular youth social entrepreneurial programs. This could not have been more evident as when we needed to quickly pivot from in-person to virtual programming and events at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sharon made time to meet with us, readily offering creative ideas and generous support - a consistent theme of hers. A profound thinker, she never retreats to a simple answer or explanation and comfortably deals with ambiguity with deep analysis. I can say candidly that working with Sharon has been one of the most rewarding professional collaborations I have had. She is a dedicated colleague, a passionate partner, and committed professional who holds only high expectations for herself. Roxie Hentz, Founding Executive Director CEOs of Tomorrow
