Susan Williams is the founder and Executive Director of The Transformation Project, a two year-old South Dakota nonprofit which seeks to support and empower transgender youth, young adults, and their families while educating communities in South Dakota and the surrounding region about gender identity and expression.  Due to repeated legislative attacks on transgender youth in South Dakota, Susan founded another non-profit in 2020 called the Transformation Project Advocacy Network.  The Advocacy Network advocates for the dignity and well-being of transgender South Dakotans through social and political action while also advocating for transgender equity and justice.  Susan is a wife and mom of two kids, one of whom is transgender and inspired her to make a difference in her home state of South Dakota.
