Fall is the time we welcome new members into our chapter. This year we have three amazing women joining us and they bring a wealth of talent and experience to ARCS Atlanta.

Suzette Brading has a long history of involvement in the Atlanta community. She has been a member of the Junior League of Atlanta and Chicago. She also served as president of the Piedmont Garden Club and co-chair of the Piedmont Ball. She is involved with her civic association, the Shepherd Center and multiple groups focused on American History. She found time for all this while owning and running her own executive placement firm for 18 years.

Barbara Crum has a passion for education and has been involved for many years as a member of the National Association of Independent Schools and actively involved in multiple metro Atlanta school systems. She organized the Pin Backpack Bash to fund backpacks and school supplies for kids in need. Barbara has a long and distinguished career as an architect at Perkins and Will but plans to have more time in the future to volunteer as she contemplates retirement.

Andrea Montag has a long resume of service to the Atlanta community. She worked for the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta, and the Wilbur and Hilda Glenn Institute for Philanthropy and Service among others. She also volunteered with education related groups such as the Lovett School, WELC (the early learning center of The Temple), the Children’s Museum of Atlanta and many more. Andrea comes from a family of doctors and has always been interested in scientific research and strongly believes in supporting the next generation of scientists.

These new members add so much to our chapter. Please welcome them to the ARCS Atlanta family.
