Suzanne Farmer Flynn '80 has been named to the College's Board of Trustees. A native of Roanoke, Va., Flynn attended Patrick Henry High School and was a member of Belmont Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
"I'm excited about all the changes that are happening at Lynchburg College," said Flynn, adding that she and her husband, Geoffrey Flynn '79, have been very impressed by President Garren. "We want to help the College as much as we can."
After graduating from LC, Flynn went to work for MetLife in New York City, where she spent seventeen years and became director of information technology. She helped develop strategic planning for an automated technology initiative.
Flynn left the corporate world to stay at home with their two children, Hillary, 19, and Geoffrey II, 16. She became actively involved in volunteer activities in her children's schools and the YMCA in Madison, N.J., where they lived. In August 2008, Flynn and her family moved to San Francisco but kept their home in New Jersey.
