Cheryl Schrier crowned national USA Ambassador Ms.

PALM HARBOR, FL – On July 31, 2016, a panel of distinguished judges chose Pennsylvania native Cheryl Schrier as the 2016 U.S.A. Ambassador Ms. The competition and crowning took place at the Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida. The national pageant finale was live streamed to thousands of viewers from across the county. A generous prize package was awarded which includes a cash award, a 7 day cruise, trips to Tampa, D.C. and New England in addition to a variety of other prizes.

Schrier has over 30 years of professional experience as a nurse, as a healthcare management executive, as Vice President and Owner of Building Control Systems & Services, a Newtown based union electrical contracting firm, and as Managing Member of 103 N.

Passionate about working to inspire and elevate those she meets, especially young women, Schrier is an avid volunteer in her community and says it is “critical that adults involve young people in community service to provide opportunities for them to think beyond themselves and build personal character.” She is an active member of the Board of Directors of the Bucks County Opportunity Council, combatting poverty and promoting self-sufficiency, and a longtime volunteer and ambassador for the Bucks County Emergency Homeless Shelter. She is a member of the Newtown Rotary Club and also serves as co-chair of the Women in Business Roundtable for the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce. Her irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit, success in executive leadership and philanthropic efforts have been recognized by several significant awards including the 2016 SmartCEO Brava Award, the 2016 Soroptimist International of Indian Rock Woman of Distinction Award, and the Newtown Business Association Community Service Award. In addition to achieving the national U.S.A. Ambassador crown, Schrier was named the winner of the Community Service Award and the Photogenic Natural Competition, and placed as 1^st Runner Up in the Resume Competition.
