Her passion for the advancement of the rights of women and children in legal and social systems was recognized and in 2012, a fund was established in her name to support prevention and intervention services for women and children who are victims of violence. In 2015, Sue was awarded a British Columbia Community Achievement Award for her work in the community. Sue was the Executive Director of Family Services of the North Shore from 2006 to 2012.

Her projects have included a number of leadership activities including Strategic Planning, board governance and the restructuring of Human Resources and Quality Improvement. She is currently working on the development of a capital campaign for a new PCRS project.
