Meet Jacqui Sharpe: Driving Economic Cohesion with a Creative SparkHere in Oneida County, Jacqui Sharpe stands out as a valuable member of our Economic Development Corporation’s Board of Directors. She brings a unique blend of mental health insight and creative marketing flair to the table, enhancing our community’s growth and spirit.

From Psychology to Economic StrategyJacqui’s academic journey speaks to her diverse skill set. She holds two Bachelor’s degrees, one in Psychology and another in Interpersonal Communication, and a graduate certificate in Outdoor Leadership from Wheaton College. Such education underpins her approach to nurturing an environment where businesses and individuals flourish.

A Journey That InspiresHer path to leadership is nothing short of inspirational. Transitioning from mental health and non-profit engagements, Jacqui showcased her entrepreneurial spirit by running a bakery. Her drive didn’t stop there; she rose through the ranks from a board member to marketing director and now shines as the Executive Director of the Three Lakes Area Visitors Bureau since the first of September.
