Enlighten: Dr. Sharon Anderson
	From Great to Enlightened Much has been shared about good leaders becoming great. But great leaders must adapt to the ever changing work place, meet the important needs of others and look to the future with creativity and passion. The future of our organizations is guided by enlightened leaders who continue to grow, learn and challenge the past and the future. Let's move on from great to enlightened! Anderson serves as Special Consultant to the President and CEO of National 4-H Council. Prior to that assignment, she spent her career with the NDSU Extension Service serving as a specialist in human development, 4-H youth development specialist, a district director and finally as extension director for the state of North Dakota. Sharon was a member of ECOP, the National 4-H Board of Trustees and the 21st Century Extension Service project. Sharon's passion during all of her career was leadership development throughout the organization. Sharon's Notes
