Susan Gorin

Board Secretary

"Films can teach, tell stories, and take us places we may not

otherwise go. Great filmmaking does this and much more; it can lead

us to a better understanding of common issues and how to support

young people through turbulent times. Through Wingspan

Productions, KT Curran creates meaningful films because of her

commitment to ask and then listen with creative talent and hopeful spirit."

Susan has a great deal of Board experience as the Interim CEO of

Presidential Scholars Foundation and CEO of the National Association of

School Psychologists. Susan is a retired Certified Association Executive

(CAE, Ret.), and her expertise is a tremendous asset for Wingspan's

initiatives on mental health. She has a wealth of experience nationwide in

the school psychology profession and has directed the deployment of crisis

teams after school shootings dating back to the horror of Columbine High

School, including Sandy Hook Elementary School and, sadly, many others.

Susan is an icon within the National Association of School Psychologists

(NASP) as well as within the larger field of association executives and she

leaves an indelible mark on the association,” says John Kelly, Past

President of NASP. “She has guided NASP through 25 years of sustained

growth and forward-thinking leadership that has positioned us as one of the

most effective and highly regarded member service and advocacy

organizations in the country.

Past President of NASP, Todd Savage reflects that “Susan is the

consummate professional and association executive. She can make you

feel like the only person in the world in a room of thousands. She set the

bar high for herself, which makes everyone around her strive for something

greater.”
