Elana L. Yeger

Elana L. Yeger, Esq., was appointed by the Rockland County Legislature to complete the term vacated by Mendel Taub, ending June 30, 2025. Ms. Yeger attended Binghamton University, a State of New York (“SUNY”) college, so she understands both the educational and fiscal value of a public college education. She then attended the University of Pennsylvania Law School, graduating in 1995. Unlike many of her colleagues there who pursued careers at large law firms and major corporations, Ms. Yeger has devoted her entire legal career to public service.

Ms. Yeger began her career in the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office. When she made the decision to move her family from New York City to Rockland County, she left for a job in the NYC Corporation Counsel. She later worked in the Ramapo Town Attorney’s Office and the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office before accepting the invitation to serve as Senior Legislative Counsel to the Rockland County Legislature.

Ms. Yeger holds a keen interest in RCC, as her two older children have attended RCC and her youngest child plans to enroll there as early as this summer.

Ms. Yeger constantly fields phone calls for legal advice and/or representation from organizations that serve children at risk in Rockland County. Many of these young adults have ended up attending RCC to advance their personal goals and to become productive members of society. Ms. Yeger is proud of her children, those she has helped, and all RCC students. She is also proud that Rockland has RCC to help its residents achieve their goals. She looks forward to assisting RCC to accomplish just that.
