It is with profound sorrow that I reflect on the life and work of Karen Binder, a cherished colleague and a dear friend. Those who knew Karen knew of her tireless efforts and deep commitment to the people of Ulster County, and it was my privilege and honor to know her. Karen Binder worked for the Ulster County Legislature since 2004 and served as the Clerk of the Legislature since 2010. And so it is with a heavy heart that I extend the thoughts and prayers of my entire administration to the friends and family of this extraordinary individual. We will miss her very much.
