Suzanne began her Gretna Music relationship in 1999-2000, left to be a stay at home mom, returned part-time in 2006, and became executive director in September 2012. She played flute (poorly) growing up and can’t carry a tune. But she is passionate about the arts and Mt. Gretna and building community in and around Gretna Music. She is on the boards of PA Presenters, Visit Lebanon Valley, and Mt. Gretna Arts Council. When not working, she reading, traveling and hanging out with her husband Dave.

Mika was hired full time in 2021 after working as a summer intern for three years. Her main responsibilities include box office management, grant writing, and overseeing Gretna Music for Kids and First Listen. She graduated from Elizabethtown College with a BA in Theatre and English. As an accomplished soprano with a decade of training, she can carry a tune. In her free time Mika enjoys reading, knitting fun hats, drinking delicious coffee, trying out new recipes, hanging out with friends and family, and spending time with her husband Bram and their cat Ozzy.

Kevin retired from Penn State following 38 years of service to the University—over 20 of those years in major gift fundraising including the Eberly College of Science before assuming the role of Director of Development for the Bellisario College of Communications, and later as the Director of Major Gifts in College of Health and Human Development. Kevin and his wife, Leeshaun, became part of the Mount Gretna community in 2008 with the purchase of a cottage. Retirement now has them spending more of their time in Mount Gretna and engaged in the community. Kevin serves on the Mount Gretna Arts Council and has done work on behalf of Gretna Theatre. He has dedicated his career to helping donors navigate their philanthropic journey and achieve their goals. Kevin understands the importance of connecting donors to their areas of passion and helping them understand the unique and compelling impact their giving can have on people now and far into the future.
