News
Retired Judge Lorraine Parker, Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees of Sussex County Community College and current Of Counsel at Hollander, Strelzik recently announced the launch of the 100 Women Project.
The goal of the Project is to have 100 women from the business and professional communities in Sussex County, NJ contribute $100 each year for five years to endow scholarships for women attending Sussex County Community College. Ten thousand dollars will endow a scholarship at the college and, over five years, will fund five separate scholarships. A steering committee has been formed to set guidelines for awarding the scholarships and there is hope that the project will grow and continue endowing scholarships for women well beyond five years.
