(WEST WINDSOR, NJ) -- The Mercer County Commission on the Status of Women will host its annual Woman of Achievement and Young Woman of Achievement Awards event on Wednesday, April 16, 2025 at Mercer Oaks Clubhouse.
The Woman of Achievement Award was established by the Commission to honor women in Mercer who volunteer their time to make Mercer County a better place to live, work, and raise a family. The Young Woman of Achievement Award honors Mercer County high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding dedication to volunteer work within the county.
The awards reception will be held Wednesday, April 16, 2025 at 6:00pm at Mercer Oaks Clubhouse (725 Village Road) in West Windsor. The deadline to register is Friday, April 4. Tickets are $55 plus transaction fees, and include hors d’oeuvres, light fare, and dessert. Tickets are available for purchase online.
“This year’s honorees come from every walk of life, but they’re united by their dedication to our community and their commitment to helping others,” said County Executive Dan Benson. “I look forward to joining with leaders and residents from throughout Mercer to celebrate their generosity of spirit.”
This year, the Commission will present Woman of Achievement Awards to Krystal DeLeon of Trenton, Tricia Nielsen of East Windsor, and Phyllis Oliver of Ewing. Young Woman of Achievement Awards will be presented to Zurisadai Argueta-Rivera of Trenton, Rithika Bodicherla of Robbinsville, and Bethany Marusky of Hamilton. The reception will also honor Younity (formerly Womanspace) for its long-running commitment to serving women and all Mercer County residents impacted by domestic abuse.
“When you volunteer, you make a real difference,” said Taraun Tice McKnight, Deputy County Administrator and Director of Community Services. “Your willingness to extend kindness, care, and dedication truly touches the lives of all you serve, and that is invaluable.”
The Mercer County Commission on the Status of Women was established under the Mercer County Department of Human Services in 1976 to support the County of Mercer in the development of policies and programs designed to enhance women’s lives. Its members act as liaisons among community organizations, associations, and groups working to improve the status of women in Mercer County.
