On August 25, 2026, the Commission on Human Rights honored Susan Lamont as the recipient of the Kathleen Finigan Award. Susan was recognized for her exceptional leadership, compassion, and dedication to advocacy, which have made a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of people experiencing homelessness in Sonoma County.
This year’s award was especially meaningful because Susan had the opportunity to work alongside Kathleen Finigan during Kathleen’s lifetime. Their shared commitment to supporting and advocating for people experiencing homelessness made Susan a truly fitting recipient of this award. Susan’s continued dedication reflects the same compassion, service, and commitment that Kathleen demonstrated throughout her life.
It was a beautiful and fitting tribute to Kathleen’s legacy to honor someone who carries forward the values and spirit of the work they shared.
