Spartanburg resident, Roberta Thomas has been named Layperson of the Year by Sherman College of Chiropractic in appreciation of her outstanding contributions, time and commitment to the chiropractic profession and the college. The Layperson of the Year Award is given to a non-chiropractor who has contributed to the advancement of Sherman College in a significant and noteworthy manner.
Thomas holds two positions with the college as executive administrative assistant to the president and assistant to the director of continuing education. Thomas has been an instrumental part of the smooth transition in leadership for both of those offices in 2012-2013. Thomas is originally from California and has also lived in Rhode Island, where she earned an Associate’s degree from Rhode Island Junior College and a Travel and Tourism Certification from Johnson & Wales College.
At Sherman, she has served as executive administrative assistant to the president since 2008 and took on the role as assistant to the director of continuing education in 2011. During her time at the
college, she has served in a variety of community and Sherman volunteer positions including United Way team captain and representative, Boiling Springs Museum Committee Chair, a representative for the Boiling Springs Area Council at the Chamber of Commerce, chair of the Sherman College Presidential Investiture Committee, and a member of several other college committees.
“The college is indebted to Roberta for her guidance, hard work, and tenacity,” Director of Continuing Education Stacy Bradey said. “Roberta’s teamwork and dedication to excellence has greatly
assisted us during extremely busy times.”
Sherman College named its 2013 award recipients May 23-25 as part of Lyceum, an annual continuing education and homecoming event attended by hundreds of chiropractors
throughout the U.S. and internationally. Lyceum is held on the college’s campus in Spartanburg, SC, and involves three days of seminars, special events, and other programs.
