Sue Laird - Administrative Assistant

e-mail: aldenl@vefc.net

Sue works alongside her husband Alden, our senior pastor, as an administrative assistant and personal secretary. She has been here since January of 2006 after having moved from Colorado where she enjoyed a similar position at their previous church. Sue is also the Director of Women’s Ministry at Visalia EV Free, and one of the lead counselors in our counseling ministry. She enjoys many aspects of working with the women in our church, including teaching, encouraging, mentoring, counseling, and planning a variety of activities throughout the year.

Sue has a background in education, having worked in the Tulare County school system for nearly 20 years as both a teacher and administrator. Some of her favorite hobbies include scrapbooking, creative writing, playing games, trying to learn Russian, and walking her dog “Piper.”

Her four children and three daughters-in-law continue to bring great joy into her life, as do her beautiful grandchildren - nine and counting! Because they are located around the world ( Colorado , Maryland , and Ukraine ), she loves to travel as well.
