Experience
Director Emeritus
May 2025 — Present
As Board Chair, it is both an honor and a privilege to recognize the extraordinary leadership of our outgoing Executive Director, Amanda Sherlip. Over the past five years, Amanda has transformed Hands Across the Sea into a beacon of innovation, resilience, and impact. Her unwavering dedication, strategic vision, and compassionate leadership have not only strengthened our programs—they have expanded our reach, deepened our relationships, and elevated our mission to new heights. We are immensely grateful for her tireless efforts and the countless lives she has touched through her commitment. While we will deeply miss her daily presence, her legacy will continue to guide and inspire us as she transitions into the role of Director Emeritus.” — Leah Garratt, Board Chair, Hands Across the Sea
