Watershed Association Appoints New Directors of Membership & Finance
Two new employees are settling in at the Watershed Association's busy office in Madison.
Jinnee DeMarco of Bernardsville has been hired as the new Finance Director. She is taking over from interim director Patsy Clew, who gamely filled in this summer after a volunteer stint at the Watershed Association. DeMarco previously worked as a manager at Alliance Capital in New York City. She holds an M.B.A. from Fordham University and a B.A. from Boston College, and currently volunteers as treasurer of the Somerset Hills Home & School Association.
"We're delighted to have Jinnee join our team," said Executive Director Julia Somers. "We look forward to the talents she brings to the position."
Patsy Clew of Harding Township has changed hats to become Director of Membership and Heritage Programs, a position approved by the Board of Trustees in July.
Somers spoke with excitement about the new position. "Developing heritage partnerships with local business and commerce groups is an exciting new direction for the Watershed Association. Our mission has always called for the protection of the watershed's extraordinary historical resources and beautiful towns. Patsy's hiring will help to make these resources more visible and, as a consequence, even more compelling."
Clew holds an M.B.A. from New York University and a B.S.B.A. from Ohio State University.
