Inspired by the inaugural meeting of the revived Port Jeff Civic Association in January 2023, Kathleen stepped up to serve on the board. Over the past three years, as Corresponding Secretary, she put her journalism background to work by authoring petitions, letters to the editor, and local calls to action.
Her advocacy has focused on critical Village challenges, including flooding, erosion, and over-development. To amplify these efforts, she spearheaded a Tri-Civic collaboration with neighboring leaders in Port Jefferson Station/Terryville and Three Village. This coalition successfully petitioned the Town of Brookhaven to form a Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) task force and established regular briefings with elected officials to keep local concerns front and center.
Now serving as Vice President, Kathleen remains dedicated to growing and strengthening the Civic, fostering community connections, and advocating for Port Jeff’s future.
