Suzanne’s nominations praised her for being "an absolute rockstar." Suzanne leads the Building Request process for the Education Department, which means she is responsible for ensuring that our classes and programs have the appropriate supplies and classroom availability. One nomination read "It's no secret that our programs wouldn't run as smoothly without Suzanne."
She also works as the offsite coordinator, which means she has had to use her resources wisely while relying on her strong communication skills to make sure our many processes keep moving
“Suzanne is a role model who helps keep others smiling and motivated!”
Thank you, Suzanne!

Coolidge lived to be 102 years old and was awarded 83 patents during his life.
