Colleagues describe her as "It is my pleasure and honor to recommend Amy Sherman. We met over 15 years ago while I was serving on the Board of Trustees of CAEL. I was immediately struck by her passion, leadership skills, and ability to translate abstract policy concepts into concrete action. Amy’s ability to speak to everyone’s interest and find a way to move the agenda forward is impressive given the complex landscape of adult learning and workforce development. Amy showed vision and clarity on how to actualize CAEL’s mission while supporting a healthy organization. Overtime, I have worked with Amy on national policy and program initiatives, most recently in a partnership with my college in a STEM initiative to serve veterans. I consider Amy to be a true ambassador for adult learners and CAEL. She is a respected thought leader and expert in the field. I have seen her create partnerships with funders, employers, colleges, workforce and government leaders because she understands each one’s perspective and can translate across the different sub-cultures. Amy is a quick study, a logical and strategic thinker, and a persuasive communicator. If I wanted to get something done, I would turn to her in a heartbeat. Amy understands how to operate effectively in multiple sectors (e.g., non-profit, higher education and industry) to make a difference. It has been a true pleasure to work with Amy. " and "I have worked with Amy at CAEL for over 15 years, in many capacities--as colleagues, as partners and as her supervisor. Amy is creative, strategic, energetic and thoughtful. She has the rare ability to form deep and meaningful relationships quickly. I think this is because Amy is authentic and her enthusiasm and passion are contagious. We worked together on Lifelong Learning Accounts-which was only a concept-a matched savings account for adults for college-that would be employee owned and employer sponsored. Amy took this great idea and actualized it. She ran a three site, 5 year, national demonstration in 4 different sectors across the country. She worked with employers, college, mayors, legislators, and learners to make it all happen. Amy knitted it together out of nothing. And she got federal tax legislation introduced for the concept, to boot! She took a cool idea and made it concrete. And real lives were changed because of it. Amy is a member of CAEL's Strategic Planning Group and always has terrific insights and thoughtful ideas to share. Amy is also an executor-she gets stuff done. Amy cares deeply, thinks sharply and gives completely. You want her on your team."
