Sean Basdavanos
2025 Aide to the Grand Marshal

Sean Basdavanos is honored to serve as an Aide to the Grand Marshal for the 2025 Glen Cove St. Patrick’s Day Parade. A dedicated member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH), Sean served as President of the Glen Cove Division from 2021-2023, as Vice President from 2018-2020 and is currently the Treasurer since 2023. During his presidency, he was instrumental in founding the Glen Cove Hibernian Golf Outing, a beloved annual event at the Glen Cove Golf Course.

Sean’s dedication to the AOH is deeply personal, as his grandfather, Michael Moran, was honored by having the Glen Cove Division 8 named after him, one of the highest honors the division can bestow. Sean continues to carry on his family’s legacy of service and community involvement.

In addition to his work with the AOH, Sean has had a distinguished career in public service. Since 2014, he has worked at the City of Long Beach Water Purification Plant, where he is now a Senior Plant Operator. Throughout his career, Sean has served as both Shop Steward and Safety Coordinator, advocating for his colleagues and ensuring the safety and efficiency of the plant.

Sean is also an active member of the Men’s Glen Cove Golf Club and enjoys skiing in his free time. Outside of his professional and community work, Sean is a proud husband to Allison Basdavanos and a father to two sons, Odin James and William Arthur. He is the son of Maureen and William Basdavanos and the grandson of Michael and Mary Moran.

As an Aide to the Grand Marshal, Sean’s contributions to the community, his dedication to preserving his Irish heritage, and his commitment to service make him a true asset to the Glen Cove St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
