HONORING SHARON HAWKINS
______
HON. MICHAEL K. SIMPSON
of idaho
in the house of representatives
Friday, February 11, 2022
Mr. SIMPSON. Madam Speaker, along with my colleagues Senator Mike Crapo, Senator Jim Risch, and Congressman Russ Fulcher, I rise to call attention to the outstanding career of Sharon Hawkins, who worked for over 30 years on public policy to better the lives of Idahoans. Sharon, served the last fifteen years of her career as the Director of Operations for Idaho’s largest business association, the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry, IACI. Sharon not only made sure every detail of the office ran smoothly, but she was an extremely vital resource to the 300 plus business members who make up that important organization.
Before joining IACI, she was the administrative coordinator for the Idaho Consumer-Owned Utilities Association, executive assistant to the Chairman and CEO of MGM and United Artists Communications, and the office administrator for the investment banking firm, Merrill Lynch.
For many, Sharon is an encyclopedia of historical and policy knowledge in the Gem State. She knows every player in the business world, not only because she worked with them, but because she became a caring friend to those who crossed her path.
Sharon is the person you go to when you need things done right. She never left a detail on the table, or a task undone during her time of service. From orchestrating some of the most important business events in modern Idaho history–to making sure Vice President Dick Cheney had a Diet Coke, Sharon never missed a beat.
Her ability to spark conversations, tireless work ethic, and thorough knowledge of Idaho policy history and business acumen will be missed among all who’ve worked with her over her three decades of service. We all wish her the best in her retirement and to get some much-needed rest and relaxation with her husband Cory and her three sons. I thank Sharon for her service to Idaho.
