Sharon Strohmaier

Sharon E. Strohmaier began as Executive Director of IRMS on March 26, 2001. With a strong background in non-profit management, she came to IRMS after more than 15 years as Executive Director of the Des Moines Choral Society, where she was responsible for all operations.

As Executive Director, Sharon oversees the overall operations of IRMS and nurtures the relationships with the seven covenanting denominations and their churches. She is leading IRMS through a period of growth and change. The highlights include the complete reorganization of the studio, the conversion of the library to a new computer system, the transfer of the collection to protective cases and the move of the collection to new shelving, and most recently our first-ever move to a new location.

Sharon holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Music from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa, and a Master of Arts in English from Drake University in Des Moines.
