Susia Burgess Styborski

Director

Year graduated Alliance:  1983

Why do you want to serve on the Alliance College Alumni Association Board

 I am all-in for preserving the legacy of Alliance College.  The importance of Alliance College in the history of Cambridge Springs, and in our own personal histories cannot be lost to future generations.  I am proud of what has been accomplished over the past and want to continue to be part of the future.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my position as Secretary for the ACAA. 

 

 

Are you willing to attend monthly board meetings throughout the year with one in person meeting per year?   Yes

 

Do you have any experience serving on an organization Board?   Yes

 

Details: In addition to serving on the ACAA Board for the past 4 years, I served 6 years on the Board of Officers for Lakeshore Humane Society, an adoption center in Western NY that serves Chautauqua County to rescue, adopt and teach.  We have 80-100 volunteers assisting each week to maintain the building grounds and care for 40-50cats and 10-15 dogs as well as overseeing our foster program.  It is a very different organization from ACAA in terms of mission and goals but the ability to fundraise, cheerlead, train and care are valued skills that would serve both organizations.
