“I met Susan in 2004 when I was an inspired and passionate senior in high school who'd been elected to serve as a board member of the organization where Susan was on staff. I remember coming home from the first board meeting feeling a little overwhelmed, but incredibly excited because I had had an interaction with one of the staff members (Susan) who truly seemed to GET me and clearly wanted me to grow and develop to my fullest potential. Over the next four years, we worked together on innovative projects to build and support leadership of youth and young adults within the church. Susan became my definition of a mentor, teacher, accomplice, and advocate for social change. She taught me many monumental lessons about social change, social justice, privilege, and organizing that helped shape my life's work. Susan meets people where they are, and has a gift for being truly present with folks, and seeing them in their wholeness. She helped me identify my strengths as a leader, and constantly challenged and empowered me to co-create and imagine with others how to build a better world. ”
