You will always be able to recognize our President, Sue Greene, by the twinkle in her eye and the special smile on her face. If you are in Summit County long enough, you can’t help but meet Sue and feel how contagious her zest for life is. After 14 years teaching skiing at Keystone,  Sue moved to Arapahoe Basin in 2008 to teach skiing in their Snowsports School and to create and coordinate A-Basin’s LEGENDary LADIES program (a ski program for women).

 Before arriving in Summit County, Sue received a BA and MA in Mathematics. She worked for IBM from 1960 to 1993, holding various Marketing and Strategic Planning positions. She began living part-time in Summit County in 1993 and by the fall of 1998 she was a full-time resident. Her sense of adventure got her involved in sailing, biking, kayaking, and a lot of traveling. Traveling comes in big time for Sue. In the past few years, she has traveled to South Africa, Namibia, Brazil, sailing in the Sea of Cortez and Croatia’s Dalmation Coast. In 2006, Sue traveled with her grandson to Ecuador’s rain forest and the Galapagos.  When asked what her favorite place on the planet is, she responded, “Wherever I am!”

 Sue began working with Summit Public Radio in 1999 after deciding to make Summit County her permanent home. Sue Paluska, an SPR Board member, encouraged her to come to a board meeting. After a short period of volunteering for various projects, she accepted the responsibility of Vice President and in April 2005 she became President of the Board. As President, Sue would like to improve the quality of reception of NPR stations in areas of the county where we broadcast and she would also like to expand our coverage within Summit County where it is technologically and financially feasible.

 Sue is also very busy with family. She has a daughter, Leslie, who lives with her husband, Ben Smith, and their 6 year old daughter, Mollie, in New York City. Leslie is Vice President of Legal and Business Affairs with a music publishing company. Sue also has a son, Marc, and a daughter-in-law, Ellen, who live in Brookville, New York on Long Island. Marc manages jazz programming for a local university radio station and Ellen is with the NASDAQ. Marc and Ellen enjoy an 12 year old son, Andrew, and a 9 year old daughter, Laura.

 With her community activities, her world travels, and her role of grandma, Sue truly personifies the very best that Summit County has to offer. We are all very proud and lucky to have her as one of our own.
