BERNADETTE MEYER ’95 | Founder, Nantucket BC Alumni Club
Bernadette Meyer, a proud graduate of Boston College class of 1995 and year-round Nantucket resident, founded the Nantucket BC Alumni Club to build a sense of connection among fellow Eagles who live on or love the island. Her goal is to foster meaningful relationships through local events, community engagement, and shared BC spirit - whether you’re here full-time, part-time, or just passing through.
Professionally, Bernadette is a leading real estate broker on Nantucket with the Maury People Sotheby’s International Realty. Bernadette is known for her integrity, market knowledge, and long-standing commitment to the island. With nearly two decades of experience, she brings a thoughtful, relationship-driven approach to her work and is deeply invested in the community she serves.
Bernadette earned her degree in Finance from the Carroll School of Management and began her career in investment management at Lazard and Sanford C. Bernstein in New York City before transitioning into real estate.
She actively supports several island nonprofits, including Housing Nantucket, NISHA (Nantucket Island Safe Harbor for Animals), the Nantucket Preservation Trust and the Nantucket Historical Association. When she’s not working or organizing alumni events, Bernadette enjoys walking her dogs, exploring Nantucket’s natural beauty, and spending time with her husband.
TONI MACNAMARA ROBINSON '82 | Founder, Nantucket BC Alumni Club
Toni Macnamara Robinson, a graduate of Boston College’s class of 1982, co-founded the Nantucket BC Alumni Club to bring fellow Eagles together, build new friendships, and extend the Boston College spirit to the island community. Her goal is to foster meaningful connections through local events, shared experiences, and lifelong BC relationships.
Toni studied Economics & Computer Science, which provided the foundation for a career in leadership development, change management, and systems design. Over the years, she developed a patented technology platform to deliver large-scale training and development programs, and now applies many of these same principles to her work in artificial intelligence, focused on keeping human values central as technology evolves.
Originally from Weston, Massachusetts, Toni raised her children there before living in Boston and Colorado, and eventually settling full-time on Nantucket with her husband, Mark. Together, they share five married adult children and four grandchildren. Toni supports The Community Foundation and serves as president of the Brant Point Association. When she’s not working or organizing BC alumni events, she enjoys travel, skiing, golf, and attending the island’s many festivals with her husband.
