Honoring OLLI's Past Presidents
|
|
This week we honor
Susan Stitham (2015-2016).
Susan joined OLLI even before moving to Ashland from Alaska. Susan first was part of a Shakespeare panel then began teaching about plays at OSF. As a Council member, she was secretary, vice-president, and president, after which she chaired the Curriculum Committee for two years. Susan helped facilitate a “growth spurt” in OLLI’s sophistication, maturity, and complexity as she guided the strategic plan process, redesigned policies and procedures and consolidated committees. Susan is currently leading the newly-formed Leadership Recruitment and Development Committee. Susan appreciates the richness of experience members bring to OLLI.
