Name: Susan Spalding (most people call me Sue, but either is fine)
Age: 47
Classification: Non-Profit Administrator
What was your first job? Baby sitter
Who was your first role model and why? Kay Ahrens (one of my bosses growing up, I worked for her for years). She owned her own business and was very successful. She truly enjoyed what she did. She worked hard and played hard and she was involved in the community. But mostly because she was caring and nurturing of me.
Why did you want to join Rotary? One of my former board chairs at a different non-profit got me involved and I realized what a wonderful way it was to meet people. I also love the mission of Rotary and the amazing projects it does and how it gives back to the community.
What do you like best about being part of the Rotary Club of Edina? It's a large and diverse club with many active people. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone more.
What one piece of advice do you offer other business leaders? I always try and treat people like I would want to be treated. I think that respectful customer service always comes back to you.
Welcome to the Rotary Club of Edina, Sue!
