Business Off The Beaten Path  

Guest: Susan Fox, Executive Director of Jubilee Women’s Center. Please join us as we discuss the challenges and solutions to homelessness among women. Jubilee Women's Center provides long-term supportive housing for homeless women, and a sponsored mission of the Sisters of St. Josephs of Peace. As Executive Director, Susan is responsible for the overall administration of the facility, including program development, human resource, financial management, fund development and public relations. It is Susan’s life experiences that make her a perfect fit for Jubilee Women's Center. Nearly 20 years ago she found herself technically homeless, in recovery from alcoholism, a survivor of domestic violence and diagnosed with depression and an anxiety disorder. On her road to recovery these past 20 years, Susan has walked the path of many women at Jubilee. Susan is an inspirational keynote speaker whose experience epitomizes a woman’s ability to achieve great success. Mary Anne Dorward is CEO of Speaking To Win and an award winning radio host.
