TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 2, 2005 — Suzanne Lowden, an executive in
the gaming and resort industry in Nevada, was elected Treasurer of the
Muscular Dystrophy Association at the Dec. 2 meeting of its Board of

having supported MDA previously in Las Vegas for many years.
A vice president of Las Vegas-based Archon Corp., Lowden previously
served four years in the Nevada Senate, including a turn as majority

Lowden is married to Paul W. Lowden, president of Archon Corp. and
an MDA vice president.
”Sue Lowden brings energy, intelligence, compassion and commitment

Board.”
MDA is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research. The Association also provides comprehensive health care and support services, advocacy and education. The Association's programs are funded almost entirely by
individual private contributors.
