Volunteer of the Month: Suzanne Sorenson

Although Suzy works full-time as a registered dietician and diabetes educator, she spends much of her spare time advocating for animals.

Suzy has been involved with CAA for almost two years, lending a hand in various areas. This past summer, Suzy took the initiative to resurrect CAA's Book Club, which gathers regularly to discuss animal and veg issues in literature. She is also involved in planning for our annual banquet this April and our Midwest animal advocacy conference in June. Last November, Suzy joined CAA's board of directors and now assists with personnel.

Suzy's efforts are guided by her strong convictions: “I think that animals used for food are probably the most oppressed and abused in the world. With no voice of their own, they can't speak for themselves, making it vital for us to take action,” she says.

But volunteering with CAA has also opened up other doors for Suzy. “Working with the group has broadened my understanding of compassionate living, providing a good opportunity to learn from others and meet new mentors.”
