Our 2026 Board Chair, Sharlene Shineldecker, was a recent guest on the Inspire West Michigan Podcast! Listen to the full episode and hear about Shar's journey: https://inspirewestmichigan.com/shar-shineldecker-finding-inspiration-taking-risks-inspiring-others-episode-18/

Inspire West Michigan is a leadership podcast created by Acorn Marketing and presented in partnership with the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce, The Chamber - Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Ferrysburg and the Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce.

After 37 years with Transnation Title, where she helped grow the company into a multi-state business, Shar Shineldecker made the difficult decision to leave a successful career and discover what else she was capable of.

Today, as Chief Operating Officer of Cherette Group and Board Chair of the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce, Shar has found renewed inspiration in developing future leaders and strengthening West Michigan communities.

Shar joins Amy Atkinson to share her experiences overcoming self-doubt, finding her voice as a woman in leadership and discovering the courage to begin a new chapter.
