Susie Burdick, Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

   
 

Susie has been a leader in the nonprofit sector for over 35 years. Her work has crossed sub-sectors including the arts and health and human services, and has crossed cultures in the United States and Russia. Susie is currently in leadership roles on a local, regional, and national level.

   
 

Susie’s greatest professional strengths are in leadership, vision, interpersonal skills, fundraising, nonprofit management, presentations, and taking projects from conception to successful completion. Her vision, organization skills and attention to detail combined with her infectious energy and enthusiasm well serve the organizations in which she is involved.

   
 

In 1997, Susie went to United Way of King County, where she worked in Brand Management, Human Resources and Community Campaigns. She spent three years at UWKC prior to joining the Hearing, Speech & Deafness Center.
