Susan comes to CEMA with a wealth of experience in union representation, healthcare and public policy. Susan was a member and officer with SEIU while she worked as a Psychiatric Social Worker for the State of California and Alameda County. She went on to work as an organizer and representative for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employee, the California Nurses Association and SEIU. She represented employees in both the public and private sectors, with a focus on healthcare employees. She continued her activism by working with the local and State Democratic Party and National Women’s Political Caucus.
