Suzanne delivered an excellent presentation to nearly 40 business women provoking much thought and discussion about domestic violence and relating it back to what we can do different in the workplace. She was very encouraging for women to run a trusted business and to tell others as over time social change can then occur as it relates to domestic violence in our society.
