Bobbi Binder, Treasurer
Joined On: December 4, 2013
Current Term: December 2022 - December 2025
Bobbi Binder joined the Education Foundation as a committee member to work on the first bike ride in 2011. As an avid cyclist, Bobbi was excited to get an event started from the ground up. Shortly thereafter, she joined the board as a trustee. Bobbi served as Vice President for a few years and currently is the treasurer. Bobbi has worked on most of the committees that form as part of the Education Foundation including the Taste for Education, The Murder Mystery dessert, The Spelling Bee and the Grant Committee.
"Being on the board for the Education Foundation has allowed me to meet people older and younger than myself, from different backgrounds and a diverse range of careers. Being able to give back to the community through the Ed Foundation is very fulfilling. I often get the chance to make presentations about what the Ed Foundation is up to by attending South Brunswick Board of Ed meetings. It’s actually quite a lot of fun to do that, especially when I get to be creative in the presentation."
Bobbi and her husband have lived in South Brunswick since 1988. They have 3 grown children who all have gone through the SB school system.
"One of my favorite things from years ago was listening to teachers explain how the money they were awarded through our grant program was used in their classroom."
