Longtime Tallahassee resident Sharon Weeden has always been deeply engrained in the community, both through her personal involvement in a variety of area organizations and professionally through her career as the Presdient and CEO of a local bank.

After retiring early to help an ailing family member, Weeden began looking into investing in a business concept that would allow her to continue to serve her community. Now, she&#39;ll open a <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-spotlight-sharon-weeden-of-right-at-home-10877" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right At Home</a>, a business that fits well with Weeden&#39;s community involvement and management experience.

Elaborate on your background before partnering with Right At Home: 
I began my career with Tallahassee State Bank as a Branch Manager in 1991, advancing my career while at the same time advancing my education with an MBA from Florida State University.&nbsp; I became President and CEO of Tallahassee State Bank in 2006 and retired early due to a terminal illness in the family in 2015.

Throughout my career, I have invested time in the community by working with and sitting on the boards of several non-profit organizations. &nbsp;I continue to remain active in the community and am opening Right at Home* Tallahassee to build a strong and compassionate team that will directly serve the Tallahassee Senior Community.

How did you hear about the brand and why did you choose to get involved? 
I was doing research on companies that I thought would help me further my role as a servant leader within the Tallahassee community. I thought about in-home care because of my affiliation with the Elder Care Services in Tallahassee.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

My experience running a company as President will enable me to build a strong team of caring and compassionate people that will improve the quality of life for those we serve.&nbsp; <a href="http://rightathome.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-spotlight-sharon-weeden-of-right-at-home-10877" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home</a> is the perfect fit for our team because it will offer us the ability to provide the Right Care using the Right People with the Right Approach for the Right Reasons within the Tallahassee community.&nbsp;

What ties do you have with your local community and how do you plan to serve the community with your new business? 
Along with my professional career, I have devoted an extensive amount of time to being active within the community, working to serve and improve the lives of others.&nbsp; I have served on various boards including Elder Care Services, Volunteer Tallahassee, The United Way Board, First Presbyterian Preschool and The Tallahassee Lender&rsquo;s Consortium.&nbsp; I am a member of the Economic Club of Florida, The Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce and serve as an Emeritus Director for Elder Care Services.&nbsp; &nbsp;
