LEADERSHIP

CAROL CLARKSON
President/CEO
After years of working side-by-side in business, Carol and her husband, Jim, assumed the leadership of Sunshine Ministries in 1995. Although Jim’s health forced him to retire in 2014, Carol continues to serve as the ministry’s Director. Beyond her administrative duties, Carol especially enjoys working directly with the people that Sunshine serves and dreaming up new and fun activities to bring joy and happiness into their lives. Working at Sunshine gives her plenty of opportunities to exercise her passion for helping others discover and use their God-given gifts and talents to find purpose and fulfillment in life.
As a very proud mom and “Mama” to two daughters and four wonderful grandkids, Carol loves spending time with her family.
