Heart of the Hamptons Names Molly Bishop Executive Director!

“Serving my hometown as executive director of this incredible organization is a dream come true. I am humbled to have been chosen to build on the remarkable accomplishments of Hilton Crosby, the entire staff and dedicated volunteers at Heart of the Hamptons” – Molly Bishop

Ms. Bishop has served as the executive director of the nonprofit Sag Harbor Partnership since October 2020. In an email on Tuesday, Ms. Bishop confirmed she was leaving the Partnership to take on leadership of Heart of the Hamptons.

Ms. Bishop has spent her career in leading roles in the nonprofit and political sectors of Suffolk County. She is among the 13th generation of her family to live in Southampton.

“Molly is a great fit for our organization,” Heart of the Hamptons Board President Nick Epley said in a press release. “Her work experience, leadership qualities and her love for the Southampton community gave the board great confidence in choosing her to lead our organization into this new chapter. We want to thank Hilton Crosby for everything he has done for Heart of the Hamptons over the past five and a half years.”

During the past year, Ms. Bishop has volunteered on the Southampton Village Youth Task Force to help create more opportunities for children and families during these trying times and as a member of the Southampton Schools Safety and Infrastructure Committee to help get our children safely back to school. Ms. Bishop has also served for several years on the board of the Southampton Little League, promoting shared recreational activities for the community.

This summer, Heart of the Hamptons will be serving more than 800 children in the Southampton and Tuckahoe school districts who depend on the school lunch program during the school year, to ensure they won’t go hungry while school is out of session.
