She is dedicated to developing a regional food economy as a strategy for building wealth in rural communities. In 2009, on behalf of VEDA, Sue acquired an abandoned 100,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Viroqua and has converted it to a multi-tenant food processing and distribution center.  She was instrumental in starting the Fifth Season Cooperative by acquiring a Buy Local Buy Wisconsin grant to provide the infrastructure for institutions to purchase local food.  Sue serves on the advisory board for Fifth Season and is currently the interim-director.  She has been recognized by the White House as a Rural Champion of Change and by the Small Business Administration as a Home Based Business Champion for Wisconsin and six states in the Midwest.
