Suzanne Turner has been communicating to the greater South Orange and Maplewood community about the school district for years.
Now, she's going to get paid to do it.
Turner, who has been an active volunteer in the school district, recently was hired for a new position in the district ? Director of Strategic Communications. The position will expand upon the work of retiring Communications Coordinator Judith Levy. It will also expand greatly upon the volunteer work that Turner has been performing for the last few years.
At the Jan. 18 Board of Education meeting, Superintendent of Schools Brian Osborne said that the district had received "much interest" in the position from applicants within and without the Maplewood and South Orange communities. However, he said, Turner differentiated herself for the others by her clear and detailed vision for communications in the district ? an entity with which she is already extremely familiar.
After all, Turner is currently Co-President (with Cecelia Cancellaro) and was previously Secretary of Presidents' Council, which is comprised of all the presidents of the parent-teacher associations and home and school associations in the district. She also is the current Vice President for Fundraising for the Jefferson PTA, previous Co-President and Cultural Arts Chair for the Marshall PTA, and currently serving on The Parenting Center's steering committee and its
LEAP to Success subcommittee.
Turner's professional communications credentials are also impressive. After graduating from Duke University with a BA in History, she went on to garner 12 years of professional experience in communications and fundraising including work as the Director of Development for Roundabout Theatre Company, the Director of Development for Children's Rights, Inc., Communications Coordinator for capital campaign for Baha'i National Center, Assistant Director of Development for ORBIS International, and Campaigns Manager for The Legal Aid Society.
But Turner feels that another aspect of her life will help her most in her new job. Turner and her husband, Frank, have two daughters ? Lua who is in 4th grade at Jefferson and Bequa who is in preschool. The family lives in South Orange.
"As a parent in the district, I certainly understand the importance of excellent communications," said Turner. "I look forward to working with the superintendent, the board of education, and the community to enhance communications in our district."
