Suzanne has worked for United Way of Rutherford County since 2008. She helped establish and lead United Way’s substance abuse prevention coalition. The “Community Engagement Team” is now a Year 5 Drug Free Communities grantee.  Her grant writing and program development work features numerous collaborative projects with law enforcement and treatment providers which include the creation of a crisis ‘drop-in’ center using a peer support model.
