ACA Announces New Outreach Staff
The Amputee Coalition of America is proud to announce the appointment of Shara
Roe as special events and outreach assistant, focusing on the ACA Annual Conference
& Exposition.
Working with the nonprofit industry has proven to be an extremely rewarding career
choice for Roe. Her talent for organizing educational and fundraising events
to benefit those in need has given her a purpose in both her professional and
personal lives.
Roe started working in the nonprofit industry in 1997 at the Sedgwick County
Zoo in Wichita, Kansas, while attending Wichita State University. Serving her
community through special events, catering and many other guest services paved
her way to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Integrated Marketing Communications
from WSU. After graduating in 2001, Roe moved on to the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society in Wichita, Kansas, where she served as their development coordinator
for south-central and western Kansas, her primary responsibility being fundraising
for education and research.
Roe moved to Kingston, Tennessee, in October 2004, with the goal of finding a
nonprofit group in which to plant her feet. Roe also volunteers for the Eskimo
Escapades Board for the Patricia Neal Foundation and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
of East Tennessee.
