Her heartfelt appreciation reflects her deep roots in the area, where she has made? significant contributions over the years.

Sue has dedicated 41 years to the business, serving as corporate secretary and human resources director, under the leadership of her brother, Scott. In addition to her work at the family business, she actively participates on various boards, including All About Alliance Magazine and the First Christian Church. She has also made her mark in community? organizations, notably the chamber's Human Resources Committee and the Alliance Association of Office Professionals. Her philanthropic efforts are evident in her three years of volunteering with Meals on Wheels of Northeast Ohio, where the Massillon-based kitchen is proudly named after the Neil family. "I like that we are helping the elderly," she said. "I think it is a wonderful program to support." The award ceremony was made even more special by the presence of her family, including her? grandchildren, who came to celebrate her achievements. This moment not only highlights Sue’s personal accomplishments but also underscores the importance of family legacy in her life and career. In a world where leadership often goes unrecognized, Sue’s dedication to both her profession and the? Alliance community serves as an inspiring example.
