“What I enjoy most about being the Executive Director
is seeing firsthand the difference we make in the lives of
women and their families,” Susan Kremer Jones says.
“Watching them grow in confidence, develop new
parenting skills, and build a stronger future for their
families is one of the greatest rewards of this work. The
transformation is tangible, and it reminds me every day
why our mission matters.”
The Women’s Resource Center is a place where women
and families receive compassionate medical care, practical
parenting education, and lasting support. Under Jones’
leadership, it is growing. She has expanded medical
services, grown the parenting education program, and
more.
“Our mission is not simply to help women through
an unexpected pregnancy, but to empower them
to build strong, healthy families,” she explains.
Even with this success, Jones feels the
greatest successes of the center
are the lives being changed.
This success has not
come without struggle.
Not everybody understood
the role of the Women’s
Resource Center. “We
have worked intentionally
to build trust within the
medical community, with
local governments, churches,
businesses, and donors by
demonstrating excellence,
compassion, and measurable
outcomes.” Jones credits these
stronger relationships as an
instrumental part of the non-
profit’s expanding reach and
long-term sustainability.
