Citizen of the Year 2025
Sue Pitiger
NORWICH CITIZEN OF THE YEAR
The Norwich Citizen of the Year can be any member of the Norwich community who has made an exceptional humanitarian, educational, civic or cultural contribution to Norwich, the Upper Valley, or the world at large. Their contribution can be through their work or their community service.
The 2025 recipient is Sue Pitiger, and her award was presented at the Women's Club Summer Concert on June 15, 2025 on the Norwich Town Green.
We are thrilled to announce that Sue Pitiger is the 2025 Norwich Women's Club Citizen of the Year. Her many contributions to Norwich include the following: serving on the town's Development Review Board for over 7 years, helping establish the 19 Days of the Upper Valley with past Citizen of the Year Dan Fraser, growing the Hartford/Norwich Holiday Basket Helpers program, and working in many capacities for many years on behalf of the Norwich Women's Club. The 19 Days of the Upper Valley is now the largest fundraising event for the Upper Valley Haven. The Hartford/Norwich Holiday Basket Helpers program benefits hundreds of children and adults each holiday season. Sue writes the best listserv posts, has an infectious laugh, and can be seen walking around town greeting everyone she encounters with a smile. She speaks to and stands behind every righteous cause, and shows us how to do it with humor and effectiveness too. In short, she is a wonderful example to us all, and a well-deserving awardee of the Citizen of the Year for 2025.
We celebrated Sue's award on June 15, 2025 during the Women's Club Summer concert.
