Susana Guardado (she/her/ella) was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, and is the Executive Director of OneMorgan County. OMC’s goal is for all members, new and old, and especially BIPOC, to participate, contribute, and flourish in the place they call home. Her belonging-centered work has her addressing accessibility, wealth building, BIPOC rights, language justice, and creating more just spaces. She has been invited to work alongside many different communities in Colorado, who recognize her leadership, commitment, and techniques for making change. She is dedicated to working with and for people who have been intentionally and historically excluded in the same land that has been home for the past 20+ years.
Susana’s commitments to her community are shaped by her immigrant background and experience of living between worlds. With her grandmothers’ loving guidance and teachings, Susana has great inspiration for collective work and its promises. She is grateful to those who came before her, and to now be able to do the same in her role as an aunt of two.
“I am most excited to meet, learn, and continue growing alongside other leaders with similar life experiences and positionality in organizations.“
