Giving young women a voice
Through her soon-to-be nonprofit, Dena Blizzard is hoping to give women that very skillset. Ladies OUT LOUD is a seven-week program dedicated to teaching young women public speaking. Blizzard said the goals are to encourage young women to get on stage, to know their “tells” and to help them overcome their fear of failing.
Pugh bids farewell to school board
At age 19, Brandon Pugh was the youngest candidate ever elected to the Moorestown Board of Education. Pugh did not seek reelection this November. A recent graduate of Rutgers Law School, Pugh is stepping away to focus on his legal career, but the district’s youngest board member to date said the decision is a bittersweet one.
