Sharon Heath-Riley

Director of Business Development
Sharon’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from East Carolina University was the springboard for her career in the special event industry. Her six years as a meeting and convention planner for a multi-national corporation included planning and managing events for over 35,000 guests. This experience brought her to RSVP where she successfully launched the event management division in 1987 and eventual company ownership in 1990. Sharon’s energy, vast event experience, and logistical expertise promise her clients unbeatable events.

Sharon is a member of NACE, the National Association of Catering Executives, and also serves on the UNCG Recreation and Parks Management Professional Adisory Committee.  She lives in Orange County with her husband, Phil. She enjoys skiing, gardening and spending time with her extended family, many of whom work on RSVP's events.
