#28: Suzy Bowman - Junior Achievement

She Achieved with Albine Bennett

As a life-long Mississippian, Suzy Bowman has stepped into leadership roles in her state that have helped revitalize K-12 education in the work she has done as one of the founding members of the Career Coach Program in Mississippi. Taking her knowledge from that initiative, she moved into the next phase of her career as an Ecosystem Workforce Coordinator in North Mississippi as one of the regional team members of the newly created State Office of Workforce Development known as Accelerate MS. Having her regional efforts noticed for grassroots programming, Suzy was approached with the opportunity to lead the efforts of bringing a new educational non-profit to the state of Mississippi as the Director for Junior Achievement. Suzy is currently serving as the Appalachian Regional Commission Leadership Institute Fellow for the state of Mississippi where she works with 13 other state leaders across Appalachia. Suzy loves tennis and also serves the youth in her community through coaching, where she is an 8-time state champion tennis coach. A life of public service to youth and passion for workforce development, Suzy is on a mission to move Mississippi forward as she serves in various roles in her region and state. Appointed as one of the youngest members of the Commission on the Future of Northeast Mississippi and current president for her local non-profit chapter of Junior Auxiliary, Suzy tries her best to live out God’s command in 1 Peter 4:10, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another.” Suzy has been married to her husband Bo Bowman for 22 years and they have two sons, Bradyn (16) and Brace (11).
