Since 2018, Bob Margadonna has resided in the Borough of New Hope, PA with his wife, two sons and dog. Most recently, he served four years on the New Hope Borough Shade Tree Commission where he actively pursued grants and partnerships with the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society (PHS) and the Riverwoods Homeowners Association resulting in the planting of dozens of new trees acquired from PHS to help offset the devastation caused by the emerald ash borer.
Bob has a longstanding interest in conservation and is committed to the preservation and enhancement of the natural areas that enrich our communities along the Delaware River. Bob currently serves a Canal Locktender and notably, has been an active member and strong advocate for New Hope for Our Canal, which seeks to ensure funding is in place for full-year operation of the pump at Centre Bridge that supplies water from the Delaware River, ensuring the canal is fully watered from Solebury through New Hope Borough.
Professionally, for the last 15 years Bob has been employed at Merck as Commercial Lead for Scientific Strategy and Engagement on the Hospital Antibacterial Marketing Team.
In his spare time, Bob can frequently be found bicycling with friends on the towpath and visiting the many communities along the Delaware River. In his new role as Board Member, Bob’s primary focus will be the Fundraising and Membership Committees.
