International Women’s Day 2020  & UN’s 75th Birthday Global Consultation

“An equal, peaceful world is the world I choose to help create”, says Sharon Byrne, President-elect of UNASB.org and co-organizer of the Santa Barbara’s Women’s Day Luncheon and Peace Walk. The Santa Barbara Newspress gave front page coverage of the Peace Walk on March 2, 2020. Why? because whatever Sharon believes is necessary for a better and harmonious world, she organizes and makes it happen! It ignites her passion and it becomes contagious. She is no stranger to tough situations as she works in the aftermath of the floods and fires of Montecito with the Montecito Association. 

“My life has been … discovering kind of who you really are and what you are made of,” Byrne said. “I think my special genius is uncovering the capacity of a community to do things it never felt were possible.”
