Susan Erkel Ryan

Bookkeeper

Put Susan on, near, or in water and she is happy. Put a beautifully written book in her hand and she is in heaven. Susan has spent 30+ years grounding and growing small businesses in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. She has a degree in cultural geography, loves to travel, and immerse in local culture. She was a managing editor for Whole Earth Catalog, owned a bookstore on the Russian River, and created a literacy program for kids that spread from Mendocino County to Marin. A longtime fan of Russian Riverkeeper, Susan is thrilled to be a part of the team.
