Scott Sharland wrote our most recent successful grant, a Spark! Connecting Community grant through Vermont Community Foundation.  He dug right in to the project with a creative approach and a timely, efficient manner. Scott is personable, well versed in sustainability issues and takes the time to really know each organization he works with.

 

Scott is a skillful and passionate organizer and worked tirelessly to support the mission of Groundworks Collaborative. While on the board, Scott provided leadership on two separate efforts on behalf of the organization. In both, his skills shown through, specifically – his ability to stay organized and keep the group moving toward its goal, his meetings strike a balance of being efficient yet allow for participation and he is able to communicate effectively across a broad spectrum of people. He was an enthusiastic board member that went above and beyond expectations.

Scott served with distinction in all areas. He proved to be an extremely dedicated and caring individual who adapts well to the challenges of a different environment and culture.  He easily works along with other people, especially the youth. His best work is done when he finds himself in leadership roles, as he fills these with professionalism and tremendous natural ability.
