CEO/Executive Director Experience

Susan serves as the President and Chairperson of the Board of Directors for Catalyst Family Inc. Susan provides executive leadership for the organization, which serves children and families throughout California. At an early age Susan knew she wanted a profession that centered around early childhood education and advocacy for the most vulnerable in California. Susan’s volunteerism and advocacy are both values that have been present throughout her personal and professional life. Susan served as a Board member at the state and local level and served for nine years as an Accreditation Commissioner of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Susan embraces her role as a lifelong learner, taking numerous Enneagram courses and recently completing an Enneagram & Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion course. One of her many passions is to advocate for the equitable rights of all children and families, with special focus on foster youth. Susan’s other passions are the outdoors, traveling, and as an avid sports fan, she is a regular at SF Giants and 49er games. One of Susan’s mottos is “change is good it’s the transition that is hard”. Her commitment to achieve and maintain quality programs, while being responsive to the changing needs of families, is well established in her current role as President of Catalyst Family Inc.
