NJAWBO MERCER CHAPTER AWARDS 2005

Dr. Jennifer S. Macleod and Linda Principe

Congratulations to Linda Principe (right), of Linda Principe Interiors, the winner of the state NJAWBO Business Woman of the Year award for 2005. As the Mercer Chapter Business Woman of the Year, Linda was the chapter’s nominee for this state award. The award was announced at the NJAWBO state conference in Atlantic City in May and honors a woman business owner who is a NJAWBO member and has distinguished herself in her business, in NJAWBO and in the community.

The owner of a sixteen-year-old interior design firm, Linda has been a NJAWBO member for more than 15 years. A former President of the Middlesex Chapter of NJAWBO, Linda joined the Mercer Chapter in 2001. She has been the New Member Open House coordinator and Chapter Vice President Public Policy since 2003 and an active member of the Member Services committee since 2001.

Dr. Jennifer S. Macleod (left), the Mercer Chapter nominee for the NJAWBO Woman of Achievement/Rose & Scroll Award, was also the winner of that award at the NJAWBO state conference. This award honors a non-NJAWBO member who has been a role model and who has distinguished herself as a proactive voice for women business owners. A Radcliffe College graduate with a doctorate from Columbia University, Dr. Macleod has a long history of activism on behalf of women and is the founder of the ERA Campaign Network, a newly revived campaign to add the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution.
