We Applaud You Susan Diamond! Thank You For Your Service to WPO.

After 17 remarkable years of dedicated service, Susan Diamond, our esteemed colleague and friend, will be retiring from her role as VP and Chief Learning Officer at the Women Presidents Organization.

As WPO CEO Camille Burns writes:

Susan joined WPO when we had just 35 chairs and has been instrumental in our growth to over 100 today. Her commitment and passion have been the driving forces behind our success, bringing invaluable speakers and content to enrich our community.

Her contributions to WPO are immeasurable. Susan has not just been an employee—she has been a cornerstone of our organization, a mentor to many, and a friend to all. We would not be where we are today without her vision, dedication, and unwavering support.


With that said, we applaud Susan Diamond (left) for her service to WPO and look forward to staying in touch with her as she unveils a new chapter in her life. 

Hugs from all of us at WPO, especially from your Chicago fans.
