Susana Meyer (1948-2018) had a distinguished career as an artistic administrator, programmer, manager, casting director, and producer in the performing arts, particularly opera, in New York City and at Bard College. In Saugerties, Susana was a member of the steering group for the new Arm-of-the-Sea Tidewater Center. For the first two years of ShoutOut Saugerties, she brought her management acumen, wholehearted enthusiasm and her photography skills to the arts organization.
