About the Facilitator: Sharon Tewksbury-Bloom of Do Good, Be Good
Sharon Tewksbury-Bloom has five years of experience as an AmeriCorps program director for a large program that maintained over 50 members a year, and eventually grew to be statewide!
When she first started as a program manager in the middle of a program year, recruitment was very low. She states, “My program had 50 positions open with only half of the positions filled. Over the years, I developed recruitment strategies and held over 25 recruitment strategy sessions that have helped over 25 AmeriCorps program managers combat decreased recruitment. Every year after my first year as an AmeriCorps manager, my program managed 100% recruitment of positions filled as well as several of the programs that I assisted.”
