Our Team
The Nantucket Resource Partnership was founded in January 2022 by a group of community members who understand that social services can be improved through systemic change and increased coordination.
The board, our advisors, volunteers and community partners are working together to create a truly food secure Nantucket through a combination of research, coordination, and digital solutions.

Eleanor Antonietti
Board Member
Eleanor Antonietti grew up spending her summers on Nantucket and moved here permanently from France in 2004 with her husband and children. She has, like many Nantucket transplants, reinvented herself many times, having worked as an inner city social worker, an archivist, translator, for a law firm, a non-profit, and the Town. She now works as the Special Projects Coordinator for the Land Bank. All of her prior professional experience comes in handy for her current job which is both challenging and gratifying, an ideal combination. Her goal is to parlay her equally abundant experience serving on various nonprofit boards with her prior work acumen in her role on the NRP Board. She is an avid sailor and loves to do whatever she can to stay fit, enjoying outdoor recreation on Nantucket’s stunning open land and waters.

Tricia Vanacore
Development Advisor
I was born and raised in Falmouth, MA, and have been a regular visitor to Nantucket since I was a child. After attending Dartmouth College I pursued a career in tech, working for Lotus Development Corp. and Avid Technology in Boston, New York, and Dallas before settling into Darien, CT with my husband, Mark, and our four children. I have served on a multitude of boards: The Children’s School in Stamford, CT; Greens Farms Academy in Westport, CT; and The Island School in Eleuthera, The Bahamas; my service with all three of those included significant time as board chair. I also continue to serve on the board of the Adam J. Lewis Academy in Bridgeport, CT, a privately funded school that provides steeply discounted education to needy families. Having recently become a year round resident of Nantucket, I am currently engaged in regular volunteering at the Food Pantry, the Warming Place, and NISHA. I look forward to becoming further involved in NRP and helping to further its mission.
