Susan Watson’s passion is coaching others to see their own potential and find the tools they need to design a life that positively impacts others.  She holds a BA in Women’s Gender Studies from UNC-G and became Executive Director of Women’s Resource Center in Alamance County in 2014.  With a belief that every woman needs her own side gig, Susan used an entrepreneurial spirit and started Delegating 4 Success, LLC with a mission to support entrepreneurs by providing local virtual solutions to back-office challenges.

Susan is a graduate of the Leadership Institute of Impact Alamance and Leadership Alamance. She is a member of the Rotary Club of Alamance, the Women’s Professional Forum in Greensboro, and Triad NetWorks.  Susan has served on the Board of Directors for the Women’s Resource Center in Greensboro.  She spent 13 years as a licensed insurance professional with Northwestern Mutual, skilled in operations management and coaching of new financial representatives before a career change that led her to work in Alamance County serving women facing challenging life transitions.

Susan is the proud mom of one daughter, two sons and two grandchildren. After years of researching her own birth story, she has connected with her birth father and 10 half-siblings from both sides of her DNA.  Her spare time is filled with family, a love for reading, writing, and enjoying off-the-beaten-path traveling.

Trained as a Life Design Catalyst Facilitator, Practitioner and Coach, helping others embrace their life experience and personal stories to create a life of meaning and purpose is what makes her heart sing.

Kate has always been driven by a passion to serve her community. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in History from Meredith College, she initially pursued a career in retail out of necessity. Over the next two decades, Kate honed her leadership, client relations, and HR skills, rising through the ranks to become a retail store manager. Yet, her desire to make a meaningful impact remained unfulfilled.

In 2020, Kate began volunteering at the Women’s Resource Center in Alamance County, assisting with office support and daily activities. This step marked the beginning of a fulfilling new chapter. She was soon offered a role as Community Outreach Coordinator, managing graphic design, marketing, donor engagement, and volunteer coordination. In 2022 Kate was promoted to Associate Director, where she continues to make a difference.

Kate is a 2022 graduate of Impact Alamance’s Leadership Institute and a member of the 2023 cohort of Alamance Chamber’s Leadership Alamance program. She is also a trained Life Design Catalyst Facilitator and Coach, a role that allows her to empower individuals in their personal and professional journeys. Kate finds immense joy in witnessing the transformative moment when people connect their dreams with a clear path forward, igniting their confidence and purpose.

In 2023, driven by her love of music, entrepreneurial spirit, and a belief in seizing opportunities, Kate and her husband became co-owners of Main Street Vinyl, Burlington’s go-to brick-and-mortar destination for vinyl records. She can often be found there on weekends, sharing her passion for music with the community.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Kate embraces her creative side as an amateur photographer, ambitious DIY enthusiast, unsuccessful backyard gardener, and budget-savvy traveler. Her journey reflects a commitment to growth, community impact, and creative exploration.

“Write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may run that read it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak and not lie, though it tarry, wait for it because it will surely come.” (Habakkuk 2:3-4). Tonya is that vision runner and her purpose in life is to push others into their destiny. She has spent her life helping others achieve their dreams.

Tonya has 30 years in the customer service industry, and prior to the Women’s Resource Center, spent the last 4 years in the auto industry as a finance manager for independent dealers. She is currently enrolled at Guilford Technical Community College. She holds several certificates such as Certified Phlebotomist, Certified Medication Technician, and is a Notary for the State of North Carolina.

Tonya is the mother of 2 boys and 1 girl, whom she adores and is happily celebrating the arrival of her first grandchild. When she is not working she loves to travel, watch sports, and spend time relaxing with family.
