Susan Wissler

Susan Wissler, the executive director of The Mount, helped raise funds when the property was facing foreclosure in the mid-2000s and has not stopped enlivening it since, hosting events with over 40 local organizations and engaging the community with programs such as Music After Hours. She gives illuminating talks about Edith Wharton, and chairman of the board, Dan Kasper, credits Susan with “pioneering our strategy of using high quality programming to spur attendance and repeat visits, resulting in a growth in annual visitors to over 50,000 last year.”
