Originally from Nebraska and now settled in Granby, CO, Susan dedicated her career to nonprofit management and improving her community. She has served as a district library consultant, resource development for a community action agency, executive director of an economic development corporation, and assistant campus director for the University of Alaska Fairbanks, before becoming the executive director of, and retiring from, GFPC. All of her positions have had a youth-centered component, and that is why she feels it important to serve on the GFPC board.
