Alexandra M. Binder, Marketing Coordinator
communications@shelterislandhistorical.org
Alexandra grew up on Shelter Island and graduated from Shelter Island School. She spent much of her childhood volunteering for the Society’s fundraising events with her mother and aunt. For two summers during High School she worked as the Summer Intern. After graduating summa cum laude from SUNY Stony Brook with a BS in Business Management/Sustainable Studies, she found her way back to the Society and was hired as an Office Assistant. Over the next five years, Alexandra’s position changed and expanded until she held the position of Business Manager.
After starting a family and briefly pursuing another career opportunity, Alexandra feels that working for the Society as the Marketing Coordinator is like “coming home.” It is the place she feels she is meant to be and is particularly pleased that her sons will be able to experience the virtues of the Society and The History Center as well.
