Executive Women of New Jersey will host a gala themed “Salute to the Policy Makers,” honoring women of achievement.
EWNJ’s biennial event, to be held at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains on Oct. 21 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., recognizes more than 50 of New Jersey’s female leaders from the public and private sectors. Recipients reflect the advancement, resilience, and leadership required to move upward in today’s society.
The event also supports elevating the next generation of women leaders through the EWNJ Graduate Merit Award Program. It also raises funds for the EWNJ Graduate Merit Award Program, which has provided more than $1.5 million in scholarships to nearly 350 women who were non-traditional graduate students at New Jersey colleges and universities.
EWNJ honorees – from CEOs to directors and beyond — represent achievement in law, business, non-profit, government, education, health care, public companies and the arts. See the list of honorees as of 9/24/2026.
The evening includes a reception, dinner, honorees, keynote speaker, fireside chat and scholarship recipient.
The keynote speaker is writer and Essence Magazine Editor-at-Large Mikki Taylor.
