Susan's background in property management began in the late
1970s in Dallas, Texas when she worked as a leasing agent
for a large apartment complex. Her Manager and Mentor, gave
her a dozen pink roses her first week because Susan leased16
units in one day! After moving to New Braunfels in 1985,
Susan continued working for local complexes and even some
in San Antonio. The success of Vacation New Braunfels is
due to God's answer to an earnest prayer and is greatly appreciated.
It is a lovely coming together of Susan's life history and
she is thrilled to do what she loves best. The properties
have grown from one in 2005 to 14 and more by the summer
of 2007. Each vacation home is unique with most sleeping
12-15, some sleep 20+. Visit the rest of VacationNewBraunfels.com to

for your group.
Susan Phillips' Biography
Born to missionary
parents in the Belgian Congo, Susan experienced a thrilling
childhood. The beauty of Central Africa was often marred
by violent bloody battles as rebel factions vied to overturn
the government. Susan and her family were held
hostage, evacuated, lost all their possessions, and the
rebels even shot their dog! Through all of this strife,
the Power of God and His love were abundant as He repeatedly
lifted the family out of danger to safety. The first Protestant
University in Africa, founded by Susan's father, is still
in operation today due to his ongoing commitment. Susan's
sisters, Anne and Lucy, continue the work and a new medical
school is opening which will greatly increase medical
care and help battle the AIDS epidemic.
The family eventually settled in the Dallas area
in 1971 where Susan married and then moved to New Braunfels
in 1985. Daniel Jr. (Young Studmuffin), age 23,
is a Communications Major at North Texas. Betsy, age 18,
is a senior at the local Christian Academy, and starred
as Sandy in Grease with the New Braunfels Theatre
Company,
which broke box office records. They attend the contemporary
service
at
the historic
First
Protestant
Church downtown.
Susan's love of running and volunteering led to her directing
over 25 road races including the very first Race for the
Cure in San Antonio. Susan created the Jingle Bell Run and
directed the Wurst Five Mile Run for years. She was the first
in New Braunfels to tie running events to non-profits thereby
raising funds for Family Outreach, Hospice, the Humane Society,
Habitat for Humanity, United Way and more. Betsy and Susan
directed the first annual "Bark in Park" October
28, 2006 which raised over $6000 for the New
Braunfels Humane Society's Animal Shelter.
Susan served New Braunfels Women's Chamber of Commerce as
Founder and Board member for seven years and as Program Chair
for
the
San Antonio
Women's
Chamber
of Commerce. She also directed two Women in Communications
Headliner Proliner Banquets honoring the media in San Antonio.
Susan was named Business Person of the Year by the New Braunfels
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in 1998 and Business Person
of the Year by the New Braunfels Women's Chamber in 2000
and 2001. Together with Sally Singley, Susan founded Network
Partners, a Christian Networking Group, which had 75 members
during its two year span. Vacation New Braunfels is a member
of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce. Susan is
now focused solely on developing Vacation New Braunfels.
