Sharon Colebrook
Director at Large
Sharon Colebrook
Director at Large
I have worked in various areas of Human Resources at The City for over 18 years. For the past ten years, I have been in Compensation. The part I love most about being in this area is learning about all the different work my colleagues do across the organization and seeing the passion they have for their jobs. As a born and raised Calgarian, I am a Flames fan who has held game ticket packs since 2001. The 2004 Stanley Cup run was the highlight of my fandom. Interestingly, I was at a dinner in Newcastle, England in July 2004 where a man from Nigeria mentioned that he knew the Flames lost the in Stanley Cup final. I enjoy travel so much that I made it my goal to visit 30 countries by age 40. Now that I have done 30 by 40, my next goals are to visit all seven continents, circle the globe and, if possible, go to 50 countries by age 50 (COVID definitely put a wrench in that one). A big travel bucket list moment for me was in 2017 when I saw Victoria Falls and did a safari in Zimbabwe. I joined APTEA in 2011 for the discounts to Off Broadway shows, and I recently became a Director at Large in June 2023 to become more involved.
