“Tammy Shepherd is a strong leader, enthusiastic sports fan, and dedicated supporter of and positive role model for young people in our community. In the eleven plus years that Tammy served as an officer in the William Byrd Football Boosters Club, ten of which as President, her astute business skills and creativity put the Club on solid financial ground. As the head football coach during her tenure, I witnessed the profound impact the Club, under her leadership, provided to the team. The Club funded extras, such as coaching clinics for the staff, charter buses, pregame meals, postgame refreshments, and a post season banquet, and for several years, the Club even provided cleats for the team as well.
As well as being a masterful fund raiser and organizer, Tammy often helped serve pregame meals, mentored athletes, gave players rides home, and faithfully attended multiple sporting events. If there were ever volunteers needed, Tammy was there, even years after her own children had graduated. Students always came first for this loyal, tireless leader.
It was and honor and privilege to work with Tammy Shepherd, whose hard work has forever enriched this community.”
