February 14, 2012 | By Long Island Tennis Magazine Staff
Jacki Binder of Merrick, N.Y. has been named Regional Volunteer of the Year–Long Island by the USTA Eastern Section at its recent Annual Awards Reception. Binder is not a tennis player, but a dedicated tennis volunteer.
She has served as Public Relations Chair of the Long Island Regional Board for two years, where she has significantly increased awareness and raised the profile of the region in newspapers and local media and throughout the region. In 2010 and 2011, she conducted extensive publicity work to support the Region’s Annual Awards Dinner. She has also coordinated internal communications between the Regional Board and member organizations, including tennis clubs and facilities, community organizations, schools and teams.
When she is not volunteering, Binder is a committed tennis parent, taking her two children, ages 13 and 15, to lessons, tournaments, summer camps and tennis volunteer work.
