HerStory: Susanna Penfield, disrupting cycles of power from within privilege
March 12, 2025
5 pm – 6:15 pm ET
Zoom | Free
Join us on March 12, 2025 when Susanna Penfield will share HerStory. Susanna is committed to disrupting cycles of power from within privilege. Her work began personally, with years spent advocating to align inherited assets with social, economic and climate justice — ultimately leading to a “trust bust” that liberated family wealth to be reinvested in community.
She now applies this experience to her role as Relationship Manager for Chosen Family Office, a platform for connecting values-driven wealth holders with financial professionals accountable to social movements. Susanna is also a Senior Fellow with the Impact Finance Center and is part of the launch team for Trustworthy Impact, the first-ever 100% impact-oriented independent trust company. In addition, she is an alumna of the Just Economy Institute, co-leader of the Vermont chapter of Resource Generation, and member of the Solidaire Network.
Susanna holds an MSc in Gender Studies from the London School of Economics, where her research focused on the catalyzing role of white feminine guilt in narratives of wealth. She also earned a BA in Political Science and Feminist and Gender Studies from Colorado College. Susanna is an avid reader, skier, biker, runner, and occasional polar plunger. Born and raised in Vermont, she currently lives with her partner in Albuquerque, NM.
