New Member Talk
Susie Betts is the president and founder of Solutions Electrical Services. She cites the influence of her grandfather and brother in her early interest in business. She says she has always been adventurous and entrepreneurial in nature, but was a stay at home mom for many years while her twin daughters grew up. Now she is happy to be back in the workforce, her own boss, and loves Rotary too. Outside of work, she does sports (golf and skiing in particular), loves to travel, and is currently the president of "Whatcom Women in Business".
