BW NICE Somerset County Chapter Growing, Executive Board Established

by Gina Castellani

BW NICE is pleased to announce the growth of its Somerset County Chapter, which was established February of this year.

The Chapter, led by President Nicole Wisniewski, Branch Manager & Vice President of Provident Bank in Somerville, has successfully established its Executive Committee, which now includes Dana Elizondo of Gladstone Insurance Group, Gina Castellani of Century 21 Van Syckel~Golden Post, Kathleen Caola of Arbonne and Veronica Finley of The Resource Center of Somerset.

“We’re so excited to see the Board of the Somerset County Chapter take shape”, says Diane Simovich, Founder and President of BW NICE. “We are delighted to have these dedicated women on board.”

The Somerset County Chapter partners with The Resource Center of Somerset, a private, non-profit agency serving people affected by domestic abuse in Somerset County. Monthly meetings are held every second Thursday of the month from 9:00-10:30am, with registration and open networking from 8:30-9:00a.m., at The Bridgewater Manor on Route 202/206 in Bridgewater.

“BW NICE is such a wonderful and unique organization,” says Ms. Wisniewski, President of the Somerset County Chapter. “I am pleased to see our membership growing at each monthly meeting.”

The Hunterdon County Chapter just held its 3rd annual Red Shoe Luncheon and Fashion Show, the signature fundraising event of each BW NICE chapter. Somerset County will begin planning its first event slated for the fall of 2015. Event details will be announced soon.

BW NICE encompasses three key elements: Networking, Education and Charity. Through networking, women build friendships, learn new ways to grow and develop their business, gain access to a group of talented professionals, and have fun. BW NICE brings in speakers to offer instruction, motivation and encouragement to its members.

Through our charitable efforts, BW NICE brings together its talents to help benefit other women in the community. “When you bring a group of women together for a cause, it’s amazing what they can do,” says Ms. Simovich.

BW NICE, Business Women Involving Charity & Education, provides women at all stages of business and personal life with support, education and resources. We see value in the balance of business networking and charitable outreach.

We bring women together to gain meaningful business connections, learn new ways to succeed, and foster an empowering environment. Each BW NICE chapter raises funds and awareness supporting a local organization in the fight against domestic violence.
