12 years ago, Stephanie took a leap of faith and moved from the Arizona desert to the always sunny and 75. After establishing her foundation, she found herself searching for greater connection. One day, Stephanie’s roommate came home with a JLOCC pamphlet and said, “I’m thinking about joining, you should too.”

Over her 10-year League career, Stephanie has connected with incredible women, expanded her community knowledge, and increased her professional competencies. Stephanie has had the opportunity to not only see but truly be involved in the transformation of the League and is thrilled to walk, and continue to build, the path that so many have poured their hearts into.

Prior to her role as President, Stephanie led the Capital Development council on Leaguewide fundraising efforts and donor relations. Stephanie has also held a variety of roles within the League, include Treasurer, Finance Vice President, and multiple years as a special events lead.

Outside of the League, Stephanie develops sourcing strategies as a Global Commodity Manager for a medical device manufacturer. Her busy days and on-the-go schedule would not be possible without the support from her husband, Victor. In 2025, they welcomed their first daughter, Avery. The Suarez family can be found running, hiking, or camping with their Staffordshire Terrier, Azalea. When she needs a little escape from the world, she’s likely to be found slurping a spicy bowl of Yoshiharu ramen, reading a book, or spending time with her family in Arizona.
