Ms. Rowlands won the Gold award in the Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations category for businesses with 500-2,499 employees.

“I am happy to be recognized with this award. I'm especially proud to be honored alongside some of the most impressive women in business these days,” said Sharon Rowlands. “Receiving this award is very meaningful to me as it recognizes my passion for supporting and mentoring women, which is a huge emphasis in my career.”

Beyond her impressive career and many accolades, Sharon Rowlands has a long history as a female leader. She works diligently to support and empower women in the workplace and to encourage them to, in turn, support other women as they grow in their careers and assume leadership positions. She established the Wadobe Group, a women’s network, with this goal in mind. The group is a collection of senior business women with the mission of supporting each other and identifying ways to help younger women reach their business and personal goals. The name is based on the group’s motto: want what you have, do what you can, be who you are. The group meets several times a year to discuss business issues and challenges and to build relationships.
