Jenni Pompi has been living in Prince George’s County for more than 25 years, and she and her family have been living in Old Greenbelt since 2018. They decided to move here after outgrowing their previous home because they were already involved in Greenbelt Little League and the local camps and knew this was a community they wanted to be a part of.

Pompi has two children who both attend Prince George’s County Public Schools – Oscar is a junior at Eleanor Roosevelt High School and Miles is a freshman in the pre-IB program at Parkdale. She has been married to her husband, Nelson, for more than 18 years. The family has two pets – a sweet dog, Rocket and a mean cat. Clementine.

Pompi attended the University of Maryland where she earned degrees in journalism and women’s studies. In her professional life, she spent many years working as a fundraiser at progressive nonprofit organizations, including Maryland NARAL, the D.C. Rape Crisis Center and a union advocacy organization. She also worked as a community journalist covering several cities in northern Prince George’s County, including Bowie, Riverdale Park, University Park and Hyattsville. As a journalist, Pompi had a passion for covering municipal government and grew to know and respect city leaders and the work they do, and as such is an engaged citizen who attends as many local meetings and events as she can. Presently, Pompi works as a magazine editor at a nonprofit membership association located in Annapolis.

Pompi believes in intentional community building and loves making personal connections, which is why she and her whole family are deeply involved in Greenbelt. She is vice president of the ERHS PTSA, and holds membership in Greenbelt’s Advisory Committee on Education, the Greenbelt Library, the planning committee for Greenbelt PRIDE in 2023, is a reporter for the Greenbelt News Review, a parishioner at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in College Park and a board member of the Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt Democratic Club.

Pompi’s husband is an assistant leader for both Greenbelt’s local BSA Troop and BSA Venture Crew, of which their children are members.

In her free time, Pompi loves to read books of all genres, play board games with her family, spend time with friends and neighbors and enjoy time outdoors on her back patio.
