“Attending West Virginia Executive’s reception
for the 2018 Sharp Shooters was a real
treat. As with every year’s showcase, it
was a wonderful display of the talent pool
that is West Virginia’s best and brightest.
Professionals from all over West Virginia
reminded us of so many things that make
the state great: the people, the opportunities
for those who value hard work and the
possibilities available to those who are
willing to roll up their sleeves and strive to
achieve the high goals they have set for
themselves. This year’s class also inspired
us by describing the many worthy causes
and projects that move them to action to help
those less fortunate than themselves. The
2018 presentation was another outstanding
reminder that West Virginia is truly a great
place to live and work.”

“The Sharp Shooters event is an incredible
way to recognize those individuals who have
built a lasting career that has significantly
contributed to the economic development
of our state. West Virginia has so much
unrecognized opportunity, and by honoring
those individuals, like this year’s Sharp
Shooters, we can help shine a light on the
opportunities that are available here and
inspire the next generation to create their
own opportunities to help West Virginia
continue to flourish.”

“I’d like to thank the staff of West Virginia
Executive magazine for more than the
personal recognition, which I don’t feel I
deserve compared to the generous works
of my Sharp Shooter classmates. Events
like this reception remind us of the capacity
in each of us, through community service
and philanthropy, to make our communities
better places for everyone—especially, in my
biased opinion, the children in our state. In
recognizing the Sharp Shooters Class of
2018, West Virginia Executive celebrates the
many organizations that meld and leverage
the contributions of many toward a worthy
goal and affirms the extra lengths to which
people on the front lines go for our state.”
