Susan Q Wood Founder
Susan Q Wood is the founder of the Expo of Heart and produced the event from 2000 to 2007. It was originally known as the Body, Mind and Spirit Expo; a few years ago she changed the name to Expo of Heart and developed the red heart logo that is still being used to brand the Expo. This change reflected not only her change in consciousness, but reflected a broader intent, by bringing people together to share not only about personal wellness but also planetary health.
She boldly experimented with new aspects of the show and contracted to screen the film "What the Bleep Do We (K)Now!?" at the 2005 Expo. What happened at that show was historical.
She recently transferred the ownership of the Expo to Conscious Living Partnership (CLP) in order to focus more on her artwork. Shannon Burnett offered Susan the opportunity to have a one woman art show in the Central Courtyard for the February 24, 2008 event.
She is also the publishing editor of Natural Awakenings' Broward Edition of the healthy living, green monthly magazine. In that capacity her "claim to fame" is that in 1999 she became the first franchise owner and moved from Naples Florida to Fort Lauderdale (where she knew no one) to start her publication. As of January, 2008 there are 46 franchises throughout the United States and Puerto Rico with over 2 million readers. She is proud to continue her relationship with CLP in co-creating a fabulous event and showing her support as a Platinum Sponsor of this year's event.
