Susan Davidson is a Leadership Communications and Special Projects at University of Vermont. Colleagues describe her as "Susan brings together a powerful mix of technical communications excellence, a collaborative mindset, and a willingness to adapt and learn new skills. But her greatest strength may be her ability to listen, synthesize, and translate information in a way that facilitates understanding across multiple audiences. Susan was a direct report during my tenure as CCO at the University of Vermont. The COVID-19 pandemic hit just months after I had started in my role and Susan soon emerged as a trusted partner and advisor who was willing to take on a range of responsibilities (which she did extremely well) while also identifying—and helping to develop—talent throughout our team. In addition to working successfully with communications colleagues within and outside of our team, Susan also earned the respect and confidence of leaders in other areas of our organization. Her inquisitive nature, understanding of a broad range of subject areas, and empathy would make her a tremendous asset to any organization." and "I initially worked with Susan as her supervisor, then as a director-level colleague over several years at Vermont Law School. Susan rose swiftly at Vermont Law School, receiving increasing responsibility for important projects and programs based on her demonstrated talents: high-level organization and planning, artful communications, leadership and collaboration, and ability to engage and work productively with cross-functional teams from across the organization. Susan knows how to take programs to the next level and develops creative, strategic, and systematic means for realizing program goals. She is a talented writer and has strong communications skills in various media. Susan's professionalism, drive for excellence, and positive team approach won her ardent fans from stakeholders across campus: from student groups to middle managers, administrative assistants, and high-level faculty and donors. Susan's collaborative and diplomatic work style and breadth of skills were great assets to VLS, as they will be for any organization that has the good fortune to work with her. "
