Amy Engel

In her role as Manager of Environment and Community Engagement at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Engel is responsible for supporting the Lab’s Community Advisory Council, promoting the Lab’s environmental programs, and facilitating community engagement.  She also serves as one of the Lab’s Public Information Officers (PIO) in support of the Lab’s Emergency Response Organization.

During her tenure at the Lab, she launched a new Science in the Community program to bring the Lab’s science into the community to reach more people. That program now partners with local Long Island venues such as the Vanderbilt Planetarium, the Jones Beach Energy and Nature Center and Stony Brook University to reach new audiences.

Engel also has grown the Neighbors in Need program to help those less fortunate in the community through outreach programs such as food drives, coat drives, pet supply drives, holiday gift drives and by partnering with the Town of Brookhaven, Blessings in a Backpack, Family and Children’s Association and United Way of Long Island.
