CFPA Chair, Irene Etkin Goldman, Receives Award

I am delighted to announce that CFPA's Chair, Irene Etkin Goldman, was presented with a Woman of Achievement Award by the NJ State Federation of Women's Clubs and Douglass College of Rutgers University on May 5 in a gala dinner at the Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City . In addition to being honored for her outstanding leadership with CFPA, including the last five as our Chair; Irene was recognized for exemplary leadership in securing women's rights in Russia as well as for her role with the Peace Tables project of the Nakashim Foundation for Peace. The former Dean of Douglass College wrote, "There is no other woman in this country who exceeds Irene in service to the development of freedom and rights for women in Russia ." We are very proud of Irene, and join these women's groups in congratulating her on these most impressive achievements!
