Long married to a former Marine, Sharon and her husband have four children and seven grandchildren scattered from coast to coast. She created a business, Wall to Wall Designs, which primarily did upholstered walls and cabinets in the Fort Worth/Dallas metroplex and in Austin. Another part of her professional career has been in the capacity of support all the way from a special-ed pre-school teacher’s assistant to administrative assistant for the Vice-Chancellor of Academic Affairs for the University of Texas System. Upon retirement Sharon volunteered to drive cancer patients to their appointments, help coordinate the drivers for the American Cancer Society, served on the Lake Travis ESD Citizen’s Advisory Committee. Sharon loves listening to people’s stories. Being an identical twin and part of a very large family, she grew up with a sense of being part of a community. Sharon's goal for BeeWomen is to bring the Bee Cave community beyond the neighborhood friendly hand wave.
Erika moved to Bee Cave in late 2016 from Guadalajara, Mexico where her family spent nearly 5 years on an expat assignment. She and her husband have moved around quite a bit over the years and are happy to settle down in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. They have 2 teenagers (a son and a daughter) and two canine "children." After many years in the corporate world and an entrepreneurial venture, Erika is now an independent consultant focused on business intelligence and decision support. She enjoys golf, exercise, a good road trip and interesting conversations. At a time when it seems virtually impossible to "unplug," disconnection is becoming more a threat to our wellbeing as individuals and society. She sees BeeWomen as a way to build a stronger, healthier community founded on real relationships that provide support and connections.
Born in Canada into a proud Marine Corps family, we moved to California when I was 3 and was raised in San Diego. However, being the daughter of 2 born and bred Texans, our vacations and travel were almost always to Texas. Our roots run deep here.
I earned a Bachelor’s in Mass Media Communications with a specialization in Advertising and PR and have a certification in Social Media and graphics.
I have 2 daughters, one in the Ft. Worth area who is studying to be a pilot and the youngest is a sophomore at Lake Travis High School and is a pro cheerleader.
We moved to the Lake Travis area in 2021 and have been have been welcomed with open arms which only endeared you all to us even more.
I am proud and honored to serve on the board and continue our work on building community in the city of Bee Cave by supporting civic activities, which are the backbone of our city.

Blue Zone scientists discovered that a pillar of longevity is local community belonging and connection. BeeWomen was founded to do just that. We connect the local citizens through a shared purpose: support and advocate for our city, Bee Cave, Texas. This is a quite a healthy endeavor for every member. BeeWomen members offer one another the space to be our unique selves beyond our roles such as mother, wife, work professional. Our founder, Victoria Winburne, created this organization in 2019 with the intent of handing over the presidency to another member so the organization is member lead, never to suffer from founder's syndrome. She remains an active and dedicated volunteer. Victoria has led us in serving our community through volunteering, serving on local boards, advocating for local businesses, raising funds for charitable groups, supporting members individually, leading conversation groups around topics members cherish and so much more. In her own words as founder, Victoria said that she is “highly committed to ensuring BeeWomen thrives by adhering consistently to the core values and deepening the belonging residents feel in the community.”
BeeWomen is an incorporated nonprofit in the state of Texas. It is also a 501(c )(4) as registered with the IRS. Contributions are not tax deductible.
