Nearly a century of experience is about to retire from Portage Learning Centers

By the time Karen Johnson retires at the end of next year, combined with Suzanne Livengood calling it quits in some three weeks, Portage Learning Centers, located in the KeyBank building in Ravenna, will say goodbye to almost a century of extraordinary work.

Livengood has been the executive director of PLC since 1994 and has worked for the organization in many capacities for 48 years, starting when she was just out of high school.
