Henietta Weiser Emerging Leader Award

LIVINGSTON, NJ, June 7, 2018 – Susie Botwinick of West Caldwell, NJ, was the recipient of the Henrietta Weiser Emerging Leader Award, presented by NCJW/Essex to a promising member who has demonstrated leadership potential. The award was presented at the NCJW/Essex Annual Installation and Awards Evening, which took place Wednesday, May 30th at Cedar Hill Country Club in Livingston, NJ.

With an energetic style and can-do attitude, Botwinick has immersed herself in numerous leadership roles within NCJW/Essex including chairperson of volunteers for the Back 2 School Store, a speaker event with “The Moms,” three Opening Events and the Eskow Awards committee. In 2017 she became Vice President of Communications, a position she will continue in the year to come.

“There is no one more deserving of this award than Susie,” said her friend and NCJW/Essex member Melissa Robinson who introduced her. “Her strength as a leader is that she gives 110% to every task with no expectation of recognition while quietly inspiring others in the process.”
