Susan Tran

Chief Programming Officer

Susan hails from Oakland, Maine, and is a lifelong listener and viewer of Maine Public. Susan graduated from Bard College, and after a decade of working in marketing and development for arts organizations in Washington, D.C., and New York, she returned to Maine.

Susan joined the Maine Public team in 2003 and has served in a variety of roles in her more than two decades with the organization including Corporate Support, Traffic, Marketing, Social Media, and Project Management. In 2020 Susan transitioned into Programming and Content and was named Chief Programming Officer in 2024. In her current role she provides leadership, vision, and oversight for programming and production for Maine Public's radio, television, and online platforms.

Susan has served as a national mentor to other public broadcasting professionals through the PBS Mentorship Program as well as led many workshops and training sessions for PBS and Greater Public.

To date, her top five celebrity sightings include Carl Kasell, Ari Shapiro, Judy Woodruff, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Daniel Tiger. Once, she ran headlong into Kevin Bacon at a job in New York, so she is now one degree removed from him.
