She is extremely effective at program management in the chronic absence of supporting resources, and a dependable, positive inspiration for those with whom she works, even while actively participating in the management of her community as a Selectwoman and supporting many other public service events. Over the last few months, Susan's product line has experienced tremendous turmoil. Besides the transfer of the entire business unit from Bolton to Lowell, many of our products experienced a period of cascading technical and delivery challenges. Through all of this Susan has, almost single-handedly, managed to maintain congenial relations with our customers at L-3 CSW. This long-running relationship as been worth $25 million annually to our business unit and, thanks to Susan, it continues to grow. Show less

Her persistent efforts to keep both CCS and L3 Teams focused and engaged on the numerous tasks and hurdles that needed to be addressed over the course of the TWISTER and ERMP programs. I think this statement from the customer says it all:"David,I couldn't agree more with recognizing Susan for her dedication to the SAT1743/40009096 program. Not only has she served the Cobham groups well in her role as Program Manager, she has truly earned the trust of myself and the entire L-3 team. Her attention to detail, her grasp of the many ongoing issues, both large and small ,and her tireless dedication have cemented her role as the single most integral person on the entire program. And, as your customer, I believe that Susan has been our single biggest advocate at Cobham. She has been and continues to be truly indispensable both to Cobham, from this outsider's perspective, and also to L-3 CSW. Please extend to Susan L-3's collective gratitude for her efforts and dedication.'Thank you, Scot GreenoMajor Subcontracts Program Manager, L-3 Communications Systems-West Show less
