Robert Kiyosaki

Continuing with Sharon Lechter’s philanthropist merits, Sharon has been recognized many times over as a leader in education and charitable work. Sharon Lechter is very much and has been concerned with financial literacy of women, children and families. She believes that financial literacy leads to a greater life, community, country, continent, etc. It all starts with being a success financially instead of a failure which unquestionably leads to other problems. Sharon Lechter’s passion and dedication coupled with her enthusiasm to reach out and help people everywhere, and like Kim Kiyosaki, focusing on women specifically, The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America recognized Sharon an award in recognizing this. Sharon received the Woman of Distinction award in 2005.

Although, in 2008, perhaps, Sharon Lechter would be recognized for her life’s work by a simple appointment by the president of the Untied States of America, as an advisor on the president’s Advisory Council for the development of financial literacy. This distinction, this call from the people that represent everyone Sharon Lechter helps, who in turn voted for those same people that are now honoring Sharon Lechter, ranks as one of the highest accomplishments of her career. It comes full circle as the gratitude Sharon Lechter has received only matches her output of humanitarian aid and her reach to the community through various forms of educating.
