About Lynn Shoemaker

My professional experience in education, political organizing, advocacy, publishing and facilitative leadership has afforded me successful opportunities to realize concepts by building organizations and campaigns from the ground up. I have a proven record of orchestrating massive networks to move objectives forward, especially for causes that positively impact disenfranchised and lower-socio-economic populations or that protect the rights of all citizens.\"Lynn exhibits the ability to tackle confrontation with a calm, level head. I recall one incident when I went with Lynn to meet with a member \"in trouble\" at an elementary school. The Principal verbally attacked Lynn in the hallway as she walked with the member to the cafeteria. Lynn remained calm and cool. We stayed and ate lunch with the member, despite the abusive treatment by the administrator. Professionalism is one of Lynn\'s strongest traits.\"-Dr. Debbie S. Newman, NC Network, Facilitative Leadership Facilitator; Brunswick County Association of Educators, Past President
