Susan Dorias
Term June 2023 to June 2026
Susan Dorais lives in Montague Center and worked in Human Resources in nearby towns for most of her professional life. When she retired from Human Resources, she went to work part time for The Literacy Project as an education and career counselor until she retired in May, 2023.
She was elected as a town meeting member in 2021 and says, “It’s my way of giving back to the community I live in.”
Her decision to be involved with Montague Villages comes from a place of personal responsibility and interest in helping others, especially the elderly. She says, “Watching my parents become isolated and unable to live on their own any longer made me so aware of the shortcomings of places that don’t have organizations that will reach out and help on the very basic level of needs.”
Susan loves to hike, swim, snowshoe, and until recently biking. Her other interests include travel, cooking, reading, making watercolors, working with pastels, making collages, watching movies, and she loves music. Susan also has a great love of dogs and her most recent companion, a Cockapoo, named Kiki, keeps her entertained and active. She says, “I continue to keep very busy filling my days with friends and walking/hiking and hope to continue to travel.
