EEF Board Member Spotlight
Name: Sharon Belobraidich
Years Served on Board: LOTS! Since 1990
Profession: Retired P-CCS Elementary Teacher
Leadership roles held with the EEF: Chairperson for 6 years, Secretary for 7 years, Golf Outing Chairperson for about 11 years
Why did you get involved in the EEF?
While teaching I was the vice President of the PCEA and Chuck Portelli was president. Many times he would be called to the high school for problems in a building in the morning and had to miss the Foundation meeting, so I stepped in to help.
What do you enjoy most about volunteering with the organization?
I love giving back to the community in which I live. I was fortunate enough to also be employed here for 40 years. I love raising money for the schools and for teachers. When my husband died in 1987, I never had to worry about having a job. I loved being able to to be close to my daughters as they went to P-CCS.
What is a book you've recently read that you would recommend to a friend?
Disloyal by Michael Cohen
Share a fun fact about yourself.
Last year I spent the entire year writing a book about my life. It was amazing what I learned about myself and why I am why I am. It was a very worthwhile experience.
