Ohio Lions MD13 - OH1

DG Susan Davis

In the 1980s, I began Lions as a charter member of the Findlay Lioness Club and served as President. I then supported John during his three terms as Governor. I joined McComb Lions Club in 2016. I served as President, Secretary and on several committees. I participate in nearly all of their community activities. I served as Zone Chair from 2021-2023 and Region Chair in 2023-2024. I received the Ohio Lions Research Foundation Leadership Award in 2019-2020, the International Presidential Award in 2020-2021, and the Council Chair Award in 2023-2024.

Most of my accomplishments lie outside of Lions. I served as a Division Coordinator for Hancock Soccer Association. I chaired the Findlay Arts Festival in 1989 and served on the committees thereafter. I volunteer at the Findlay Hancock County Museum as an instructor at events and day camp, and created learning trunks for teachers, I served on PTO as president and chaired many activities including the Reading and Language Arts Festival and was awarded the Teacher Appreciation Award by the Findlay City Board of Education. Professionally, I have secured many tech grants and piloted tech programs and training, was published by NWOETC, was awarded the Rotary Golden Apple in 2002, served as president of the Golden Apple Academy, and served on several Strategic Planning committees for Findlay City Schools.

PDG John and I have been married for 48 years. We have three boys: Ryan (married to Rachel) in New Lebanon, Ohio; Kyle (married to Kristen with 5 children), living in Columbus Grove, Ohio; and Justin (married to Magda and expecting their first child), living in Austin, Texas. Our extended family includes six exchange students from Finland, Germany and Brazil.I graduated from Sandusky High School in 1970 and from Otterbein College in 1974 as a secondary education major in social studies and French. I received my elementary degree from BGSU in 1976 and my English/Language Arts certificate from the University of Toledo shortly after. I taught at Holy Angels in Sandusky and later taught language arts and math at Glenwood Middle School in Findlay City Schools. I finished my career at Lincoln Elementary, fifth grade, teaching science, social studies and advanced reading. After retirement, I taught part time in the ED unit. I fully retired in October 2022.
