For twenty years from 1997 until 2007 she worked at the Associate Director of San Geronimo Valley Community Center doing program and fund development. Suzanne has served on the boards of West Marin Senior Services, the Coastal Health Alliance, and Gan HaLev.  She joined the board of the San Geronimo Valley Affordable Housing Association in 2014 and served as its Chair until 2022.  Suzanne  currently serves as a Commissioner representing Supervisory District 4 on the Marin County Commission on Aging. The lack of affordable community housing for working people, for seniors, single adults and families with children is preventing many members of our community from living healthy successful lives here in our community.  We need to create more multi-generational affordable housing for people of all income levels, ages, and backgrounds to preserve the caring, creative character of the Valley, our school, and our local community organizations.
