2024 Director's Choice Award
Awarded to Susie Davis
How many women do you know who could get up on the risers a few months after being trampled by a horse? Or compete at regionals a week after a serious car accident (and of course bedazzling her sling to match her costume!)? Or complete a couple years later after going through chemo treatments? Most of us don't know anyone who could do all that - unless, of course, you know Susie Davis! Susie is this year's Director's Choice award because of her tenacity to overcome serious roadblocks and still get up on stage and give it her all. You just can't keep a good woman down - not if her name is Susie Davis!!
