Yes Equality Civil Marriage Equality Campaign, Ireland
2015

The YesEquality campaign was brought forward by a coalition of GLEN, The Gay and Lesbian Equality Network, Marriage Equality and the ICCL, The Irish Council for Civil Liberties. The goal was to encourage people to register to vote and have their voices heard. The Campaign for Civil Marriage Equality was a nationwide campaign working to secure a Yes vote in the Marriage Equality Referendum on May 22nd. And that is exactly what happened in May 2015 when Ireland became the first country in the world to vote Yes for Marriage Equality by popular vote. It was a real honour for me to be involved in the Yes Equality Limerick Campaign Committee in 2015 and through knocking on doors, organising fundraising events and Open Discussion Evenings we secured one of the largest County Yes Votes in Ireland.

CHARITY ABSEIL
THOMOND PARK STADIUM

Here is in the office we like to come up with unique ideas and often propose events or activities that have never been done before. This was true for a fundraising event for Self Help Africa and Marriage Equality where we organised the first ever abseil down the side of Limerick’s iconic Thomond Park Stadium.

Alot of brave people took part on a sunny day in Limerick include Batman!

Working with University of Limerick

“Sharon is a highly organised and professional event planner. UL Conferencing and Events had engaged Sharon to manage large international events held at the University of Limerick. Sharon’s most recent engagement included the event planning and management of the World Medical and Health Games. This involved the management of multi-sport competitions running concurrently for approximately 1,000 medical professionals who attended the event. Medical professionals across 4 continents attended and Sharon’s knowledge and exceptional organisational skills ensured that all cultural and dietary requirements were not alone fulfilled but surpassed. Sharon was also engaged to launch an International Singing Festival ‘Limerick Sings’ in 2015/16. Sharon developed and nurtured international agents and contacts to ensure both a successful launch and a perpetual event that has gone from strength to strength. This music event involved the management of many distinguished venues throughout the Mid-West, which added significantly to the sense of occasion and status of the event. Sharon was also appointed to manage the Alexander Technique International Congress in 2015, which involved the complete management of 700 clients for a week-long congress. Sharon is accomplished and the ultimate professional who won’t engage unless she can give your event the time and attention it requires. I have no hesitation whatsoever in strongly recommending Sharon McMeel as an event planner.”
