Founder & President

Sheryl founded Women Supporting Women in Middle TN in 2019. She wanted a place where women felt safe to come and be themselves. A place where they could meet new people and enjoy time away from whatever might be going on in their world.

In 2024 Sheryl moved our group from just a social group to a non-profit so that we can expand our reach.

Vice President

Beth is a longtime advocate for women and families, with decades of experience supporting those navigating complex systems. In the early 1980s. She founded a Tennessee-based nonprofit that helped custodial parents navigate the child support system. That work contributed to national and state law changes in 1984 enabling wage assignment through court orders, benefiting millions of families.

Tina is a retired federal employee who’s work involved income tax, excise tax, and employment taxes as well as the Bank Secrecy and Patriot Acts. Her favorite work was the education portion of working with small business owners. She’s starting a small bookkeeping business to continue that passion of helping businesses with those areas they least like to do. Tina and her family (husband and 4 kids) have been in the area for 25 years and definitely feel middle TN (White House/Sumner County) is one of best places to raise a family.
