Who We Are
NCJW/Essex is a member-driven organization, led by a volunteer Executive Committee and Section Board, installed annually. The Section Board sets the policies and strategic direction for NCJW/Essex and the Executive Committee provides day-to-day leadership, guidance and works to execute programs, events and projects. A professional staff supports the volunteer leadership. The team at the Linda and Rudy Slucker NCJW/Essex Center for Women offers specific counseling services and support to women seeking to enter or re-enter the workforce.
