WOMAN OF THE YEAR
Susan Lowe
Wind Song Charter Chapter Woman of the Year!
Susan Lowe was selected as our 2021-2022 Woman of the Year! During the past year Susan stepped up to take over the role of acting Secretary when our elected secretary was unable to fulfill her duties. After having been President and Vice President over the previous several years I’m sure that Susan wanted to take a step back from all of the responsibilities of being on the Executive Board. But she stepped right up assuming that it would just be for a few months. As it turns out those few months turned into the entire 2021-2022 year. We can not thank Susan enough for her hand in making this year a success!
