Board Chair

Joanne Lynch

1st Vice Chair

Mike D. Lynch, Esq.

2nd Vice Chair

Secretary

Laura DiMillo Barnes

Lori Basilico, Esq.

Katie Davis

Lisa M. DeCubellis (immediate past Board Chair)

Elizabeth "Betty" Cugini

Gina M. DeVecchis

A practice that the board put in place at the end of last year is starting each meeting with a visit from a girl or group of girls who share their experiences in GSSNE. They love this portion of the meeting because the girls put the work they do in perspective. Thanks to those girls and their parents for taking the time to meet with the board. We will be inviting more of you in the year to come. We’ll be looking for girl(s) who embody the Girl Scout DNA of:

Go-Getter Innovator Risk-Taker Leader
