March 7, 2023 Sharon received A Woman to Watch Award spotlighting event leaders who are making an incredible impact on their community and the people around them.

Her career has been long and filled with dozens of industry awards, but her greatest accomplishment in her own words is “making a significant impact on an intern's life that will forever change their trajectory in the event industry”. She plans to give back to the community that served her so well, long after she has retired from producing events.

I had an exceptional experience during my internship, explicitly working alongside Sharon Bonner. I want to take this opportunity to commend the invaluable support and guidance I received during this internship. From the very beginning, it was evident that Sharon Bonner possesses not only an impressive depth of knowledge and expertise in the field but also a genuine passion for nurturing talent and facilitating personal growth. Under her mentorship, I flourished as a blog writer, and my skills were refined to a level beyond what I could have anticipated. Sharon's exceptional teaching style and insightful feedback gave me a solid foundation for my blog writing. Her keen eye for detail and her ability to spot areas for improvement were instrumental in shaping my writing style and enhancing the overall quality of my work. I always felt encouraged to take creative risks and explore new avenues of expression while staying true to my unique voice. Moreover, I would like to emphasize how respectful the internship was of my time and the importance of my academic pursuits. Sharon understood the significance of balancing my studies and training, ensuring I had sufficient time and flexibility to dedicate myself fully to both. This thoughtful approach fostered a conducive environment for me to excel in my responsibilities while managing my academic commitments effectively. Beyond her professionalism and expertise, Sharon demonstrated unwavering support, approachability, and kindness. She always made herself available to address my questions or concerns, fostering an open and collaborative atmosphere. Her dedication to my growth and well-being went far beyond professional obligations. I am genuinely grateful for the mentorship and friendship that developed during my time under her guidance.
