Island Community Board

The Fishers Island Community Board (ICB) was formed in 2005, following in the footsteps of years of work by the Fishers Island Civic Association. ICB is composed of six elected members (three seasonal and three year-round residents), and a representative from each of the four tax districts, Island organizations, and non-profits. ICB serves in a coordinating role, keeping the island stakeholders apprised of what is happening in the community and hosts island-wide strategic discussions.

Willard Soper, President; MaryBeth Guimaraes, Administrator/Secretary; Year-round representatives: Meg Atkin, Nate Malinowski, and Candace Whitman; Seasonal representatives: Dicky Riegel, Willard Soper, and George de Menil; Christian Arsenault, FI School District; Geb Cook, FI Ferry District; David Burnham, Waste Management District; Paul Giles, Fire District; Susie Parsons, Island Health Project (IHP); Matt Edwards, Walsh Park; Mimi Gary, FIDCO; Tom Siebens, FI Utility Co.; Elizabeth McCance, Ferguson Museum; Tom Sargent, FI Conservancy; Jeanie Cook, Community Center (FICC); Margaret Benkard, Island Peoples Project (IPP); TBD, Fishers Liaison to Southold; Louisa Evans, Town Rep – Ex Officio.

ICB Community Membership

In order to provide an effective civic forum, the ICB Directors are asking members of the Fishers Island Community to join our Community Member Registration drive. It is critical to the effectiveness of the ICB Directors that elections happen annually. This will ensure that everyone has an opportunity to vote and we can achieve a fair and balanced voice going forward. We have provided a seamless and free sign-up vehicle for both registering and counting everyone’s vote. If you have not yet registered as a member of the ICB community, please do so here:
