Womanspace is privileged to have, Kristin Appelget, Director of Community and Regional Affairs at Princeton University, as this year’s Communities of Light Honorary Chair. In her current position, she oversees and strengthens the University’s relationships with the municipalities and counties in which the University resides and works extensively on municipal and regional issues related to transportation, sustainability, land use, planning and zoning.

Aside from her career, Kristin currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Princeton National Rowing Association, Princeton Summer Theater, D&R Greenway Land Trust, and Lakeview Childcare Center. She is also an advisory member of the board of the Princeton Merchants Association, chair of the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce Community Development Fund, a member of the Endowment Committee of the United Way of Greater Mercer County and a member of the advisory board to the Princeton Education Foundation.

We’re honored to have Kristin as this year’s honorary chair to help spread the word about Womanspace’s services, as a long time supporter to us, and an active member in the community.

In recognition of National Domestic Violence Awareness month, Womanspace launches our Communities of Light™ Peace Begins At Home campaign in October, culminating with a Countywide lighting of luminaries on December 4th. This event is a powerful symbol of hope for those impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault in our community. It helps raise awareness and let victims know that they are not alone. Communities of Light™ will launch with a complimentary public reception on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 at 5:30pm at D&R Greenway Land Trust in Princeton, NJ. 

 BW NICE (Business Women Networking Involving Charity & Education) is a special organization that blends the successful building of women in business with helping other women achieve their potential in life and profession. BW NICE provides a warm, friendly atmosphere that is supportive, educational and dynamic, so women will:

• make meaningful business connections. BW NICE members have easy and unlimited access to one another’s encouragement, knowledge, talents and resources. BW NICE members and friends connect during monthly events and mixers and through BW NICE’s website and social networking.
• learn tips and techniques for new ways to succeed. Events throughout each month offer a combination of informal and structured networking activities that highlight techniques for making connections and pursuing your career goals.
• leave each event motivated. BW NICE members find the interaction with each other empowering while creating a positive outlook for their life and work.
