Cate Rogers for Town Trustee

As a Long Island native, I was raised on the Great South Bay by a boating family who made the journey to Sag Harbor every summer.  It was during these childhood years that my love for our east end waters began.  I moved to East Hampton in 2002 and immediately became active in our community.

In 2004, I was appointed to the East Hampton Zoning Board of Appeals, where I served for six years, four as Vice Chairman.  During my tenure, I became well acquainted with the issues affecting our treasured coastal areas.

Now residing in Springs, I am proud to be an active member of the Accabonac Protection Committee and was the 2013 Site Coordinator for Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Horseshoe Crab Study for Accabonac Harbor.  I am an avid paddle boarder paddling miles a week along our coastline year round.
