National Entrepreneurs Day: Spotlight on Sherry Rowley, Co-Founder and CEO of Off Duty Management
In honor of National Entrepreneurs Day, we’re celebrating the vision and determination of our very own Sherry Rowley, the driving force behind Off Duty Management. Sherry’s journey as an entrepreneur is a story of innovation, resilience, and deep respect for the law enforcement community.
Inspiration Behind Off Duty Management
The idea for the company came from a need within the law enforcement industry—third-party administration for off-duty programs was virtually unheard of. Sherry recognized an opportunity to solve a pressing problem and fill a significant gap. By creating a transparent and consistent system for managing job selection, scheduling, payroll, invoicing, and risk, Off Duty Management has freed law enforcement agencies to focus on what matters most: serving their communities.
Sherry’s personal connection to law enforcement has also been a driving factor. “Off Duty Management lives by the motto of ‘Built By Officers For Officers,’” she explains. This guiding principle ensures officers have equal access to off-duty job opportunities, fast and accurate payment for their work, and comprehensive coverage for injuries or legal matters.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit
For Sherry, entrepreneurship wasn’t a childhood dream, but it has become one of her most rewarding life experiences. “It’s important to pursue opportunities that are presented and work diligently to ensure success,” she says. Despite the challenges—long hours, sleepless nights, and the risks—Sherry finds purpose and pride in the journey.
With a dedicated team and supportive customers, Sherry’s entrepreneurial path has been fulfilling, proving that perseverance and passion pay off.
Pride in Leading Off Duty Management
While Sherry acknowledges the pride in leading a woman-owned business, her focus remains on excellence. “Off Duty Management isn’t just the best woman-owned company in our industry; we’re the best company in our industry.”
On this National Entrepreneurs Day, we honor Sherry’s leadership and the entrepreneurial spirit that fuels Off Duty Management.
