Susie Davis, a longtime force for change in the local nonprofit sector, has been named the new executive director of Guardian Scholars, a scholarship program that supports local, first-generation college students.
Ron Davis, the founder of Guardian Scholars who shares a last name with his new executive director, said that choosing Davis to lead the organization was the natural and obvious choice.
“To know Susie is to love her,” Ron Davis said Monday. “To have her lead us into the next chapter of Guardian Scholars is exciting and gratifying. She just always brings energy and new life.”
