Among other things, Suzy is a journalist, management consultant, and columnist for Oprah's O and BussinessWeek magazines. The event was held in The Forum at All Saints Church where she gave a dynamic and personable message about balancing work and life issues and personal decision-making strategies, a topic also addressed in her just published book 10- 10-10, A Life Transforming Idea.
Welch was awarded the Women of Excellence Leadership Award, joining former awardees like California Debra Bowen and Congresswoman Linda Sanchez.
