Susan was chosen as one of the top 10 finalists because of her accomplishments and improvements in the operations she oversees. Susan has managed the renovation of dining rooms in Madden Hall at the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ Motherhouse. Other criteria included satisfaction scores from diners, activities that support the values and mission of the organization, professional and community activities, and personal achievements in the past year.

Susan is not the first Adrian Dominican Sisters’ Co-worker to be recognized by Premier Purchasing.
