President’s Message

 

I am honored to be your Branch President and look forward to our upcoming ESU sponsored events.  In addition, I am honored to serve on the National ESU Board and serve as Chair of the ESU National Task Force Committee.  I also have the pleasure of participating as a member of the ESU National Happy Hour Committe and am looking forward to all of the fascinating speakers planned for the 2025 year.  

In addition to our large traditional events, such as our events with Distinguished Speakers, the Holiday Party and the Garden Party, the ESU Atlanta Branch continues to organize the yearly Shakespeare Competition, Boyce Ansley School programs and the T-Lab Scholarship Programs.   

If you are not a member, I invite you to join.  Let’s all continue our adventures together at the ESU!

Best wishes,

Susan Phillips
