Athena Alma
Virtual Office Manager

Athena is an experienced operations and organizational professional with a strong background in office management, client services, and coordination across fast-paced environments. She is known for her ability to bring structure to complex workflows, maintain organized systems, and support teams through clear communication and reliable follow-through.

Her past roles have included work in customer-facing services, administrative operations, project coordination, and team support, where she developed strengths in communication, problem-solving, training, and managing detailed processes. She is comfortable working across multiple systems and responsibilities while maintaining accuracy and consistency.

Outside of work, Athena enjoys growing her houseplant collection, reading widely, and exploring different cultures through language and food. She is naturally curious about how people, systems, and ideas connect, and she brings that curiosity into both her professional and personal life.

David Doonan
Web Manager

David has served as web manager for the Green Party since 2007. His entire career has been spent in the graphic arts, from college photographer; offset platemaker, cameramen, 4/C stripper and compositor, desktop publishing technician; photographer / journalist and finally to web developer.

A 1977 graduate of The Cooper Union in New York City, Doonan began his career in politics circulating petitions for an anti-war congressional candidate in Springfield, MA. in 1968. In 2008 he was elected Village Mayor of Greenwich, New York. He served until 2018 when he choose not to seek re-election. Doonan has provided web, communications and strategic advise for Green Party candidates throughout the country.

Shortly before 9/11, Doonan left full time employment to become a self-employed web developer. Shortly after 9/11 Doonan changed his party registration to Green as a silent protest against the calls for vengeance rather than justice.

Doonan lives with Judy, his wife of countless years, two cats who fully live up to their names (Trouble and Turbo) and has his heart constantly broken by Tottenham Hotspur and the Buffalo Bills. At least the Red Sox & Celtics have brought him joy.
