As some of you may know, I accepted the resignation of Peter Muneyyirci as Community Manager for Fire Island Pines last weekend. Unfortunately, he informed me that an unanticipated health issue prevented him from carrying out the duties of the job.

Nonetheless, I am able to give you some very good news: Karen McCutcheon will be starting as Community Manager with great enthusiasm on Monday, July 29th.

A resident of Sayville, Karen brings experience and passion to the Community Manager role. Over the course of her career, Karen has worked in corporate positions as a creative leader in marketing, advertising and operations for national brands. In these positions, she has developed and launched initiatives focused on driving brand awareness, new customer acquisition, and retention.
Most recently, Karen has been working in real estate in Sayville and Cherry Grove. In this capacity, she has been collaborating with local agencies, attorneys, appraisers, inspectors, contractors and other parties.

In addition to her professional experience, Karen has initiated charitable efforts generating more than $3 million for non-profits, and she has also planned and executed numerous community events. With her diversity of experience and leadership in business and management, we know that Karen will be an excellent Community Manager.

I am excited to have Karen on board, as she brings deep knowledge, along with a can-do attitude. She is looking forward to working with the Board of Directors, FIPPOA staff, FIPPOA members, and the community. I'm sure that she will put her capabilities to great use in the Pines.

Starting Monday, Karen will be available in person at the FIPPOA office.

I hope you will join me in welcoming Karen!
