From leading multiple technology firms to working to increase educational and economic equality, to volunteering her time to increase access to cancer screenings, Susan Dawson is a woman of many roles and passions.
For work with the business community, the local economy and the educational system, the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce has named Dawson its Austinite of the Year for 2020. The award is the chamber’s highest annual honor.
“Susan Dawson exemplifies what it means to be Austinite of the Year, said chamber board chair Craig Enoch. Throughout her career, she has been dedicated to serving our business community, transforming the economy, and reshaping our education system. Susan’s time at the chamber initiated the economic development program that continues to foster job-creating investment across the Austin region. Susan is more than deserving of this honor and I want to congratulate her on this distinction.
