Sharon M Henes
I bring the experience of serving on the Court of Review since its formation in 2019 and service on the Diocese of Milwaukee's Disciplinary Board for six years. I am well versed in both Title III and IV. At the 80tht General Convention, I was a member of the Title IV Disciplinary Canons Committee. In addition, I bring the unique perspective of 15 years on a prosecution team for disciplinary cases involving licensed professionals including doctors, nurses, mental health counselors and pharmacists as well as 10 years of drafting unprofessional conduct laws. Underlying issues in these cases are similar to clergy issues. My viewpoint is discipline is not punishment; rather a balancing of rehabilitation/reconciliation, deterrence, and protection of the community. My gifts include analytical thinking, ability to see the big picture, strong advocacy, and compassion for all. My experience and gifts. I would be honored to continue utilizing my experiences and gifts on the Court of Review.
