Pam Saussy has been the executive director of the nonprofit Literacy Council of Montgomery County since 2001. The organization helps adults learn or improve basic English reading skills. Founded in 1963, the council added a program in English as a second language in 1968 to respond to the county’s rapidly changing demographics. The council served 850 adults through about 550 volunteer tutors last year and has a waiting list of about 200 to 300 people. Saussy started at the organization in 1997 as a volunteer.
