School on Wheels is honored to announce that President of OMD Entertainment, Susan Taylor will join the Board of Directors.

“I created The Emily Austin Project for School on Wheels in honor of a young colleague’s sudden and tragic death. The Project provided a much needed outlet to help put grief into action. In learning more about School on Wheels I knew I wanted to be part of this small but mighty organization in a more substantial way. I am excited to join their Board of Directors.” ­- Susan Taylor
