Donna Bozza

Executive Director

Donna has been a lifelong environmentalist since she watched the farmlands of her childhood get paved over. After earning a BS degree from the College of New Jersey, Donna discovered the Eastern Shore in 1986. She credits her tenure as a reporter during the heyday of the Eastern Shore News for gaining a keen understanding of the Shore’s people and traditions, along with the challenges facing our rural peninsula. As the first Executive Director of what was then a struggling Eastern Shore Tourism Commission, she helped establish an Eastern Shore Welcome Center and build a thriving brand. Donna has been a CBES member since its beginning in 1988, and was hired as the Executive Director in 2014.

Why I Support CBES: I feel honored to help carry on the vision of my hero, Suzanne Wescoat, who was CBES founding President, and the diligent work of my predecessor Denard Spady. I value CBES informative and empowering approach to enhancing the quality of life for all our citizens.
