Sharon Sanford, an Enrollment Support Specialist at TC3, may be your first contact with Leadership Tompkins. In fact, I don't know how Leadership Tompkins would happen without her support!

If you are a participant, Sharon will most likely be the one sending you the agenda and answering your questions about the schedule and other details.

If you are a speaker or a Host/Supporter, Sharon will help us in pulling together all the details! 

[If you are contacting Sharon, please note that her hours are Monday-Thursday 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to noon.]
