Working at the Columbus Amsterdam Business Improvement District over the years I have developed an understanding of dynamics between Businesses, Community, and the BID. This has allowed me to have a connection to the area and be able to engage the community and the neighborhood in events to bring awareness of each other.

Erin began working with the Columbus-Amsterdam BID as a Community Outreach intern while studying at Barnard College in October 2022. She graduated in May 2023 and began her full-time position as Program Manager in February 2024. Erin primarily works in program implementation, business & community outreach, and event planning, and she loves exploring all that the Bloomingdale neighborhood has to offer.

Abigail Jack, a senior at Barnard College, began working with the Columbus-Amsterdam BID in October 2022 as an Environmental Impact intern. Now a Program Coordinator, her work focuses on mapping the BID's storefronts and vacancies, as well as planning events to engage Columbia University students with the larger community. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the city with friends and cycling to bakeries.
