Our Board of Directors consists of 11 members, each member with unique experience working directly with and designing programs for youth. One of the eleven members was a Hudson Youth Center member himself over 20 years ago. Diversity-wise, our Board of Directors reflects the ethnic and racial diversity of our youth enrollment.
Our organization's Director is Maria Suttmeier, a certified school administrator with over 7 years teaching experience and over 20 years of budgeting and program management experience. Currently she serves as the Director of Prevention Programs at the Hudson City School District. This includes top line responsibility for the Abstinence and Character Education Program, 21st Century After-School Program, Homeless Grant and Alternative Learning Program, all of which serve the at-risk population. The Program Coordinator is Kathleen Clark, who has over 20 years of experience working with youth of all ages including program design and implementation. Currently she serves as the Program Director of the 21st Century After-School Program at the Hudson Middle School.
