VICTOR CARSTARPHEN CAMDEN

Camden County Congressional Freedom Award Nominated by: Congressman Donald Norcross Victor Carstarphen, resident of Camden City has been serving the community, especially the youth of the city long before his inception as Mayor. Victor was born and raised in the City of Camden and educated through Camden Public Schools up until high school graduation. As one of the most decorated basketball players in Camden High School History, Mayor Carstarphen used his experience to give back by serving as a coach to the Camden High School Boys Basketball team for six seasons. He also served his community as a board member for more than a decade with the Camden Educational Foundation. Through this role, he helped provide over two-hundred and fifty college scholarships to students graduating from the Camden City School District. Furthering his dedication to the community, Mayor Carstarphen was appointed to the Camden City Council in January 2020. In May 2021, he was appointed as Mayor of the City of Camden and was re-elected to serve his community in November 2021. Over the past decade the City of Camden has made much progress under his leadership. Mayor Carstarphen and his team continue to work with police to keep the city as safe as it has been in 50 years while also implementing programs to eliminate structures at risk of collapsing and to stop trash and other contaminants from being illegally dumped in the city. Mayor Carstarphen is working to strengthen the public health of the community by investing in senior centers, creating athletic and recreational opportunities for our youth, increasing vaccine access, safely returning our children to school, investing in rental assistance and addressing homelessness. He understands the importance of working with members of the community to develop a vision for the future of the city’s neighborhood parks. The recent opening of the Cramer Hill Waterfront park provides residents of the community with direct access to the waterfront, three miles of walkable paths and an opportunity to reconnect families with the outdoors right in their own neighborhood. Finally, Mayor Carstarphen and his administration are dedicated to bolstering the city’s economic opportunities by creating an environment to attract new businesses to rebuild the city’s economy and nurture the rich cultural and arts history that exists within the city.


MARK A. BODROG SICKLERVILLE Nominated by: Commissioner Melinda Kane Mark Bodrog, resident of Sicklerville and Marine Captain, has served two combat tours in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and has earned two degrees from Rutgers-Camden University. As a Rutgers student, he was instrumental in the university granting honorably discharged veterans academic credits upon enrollment to help with reintegration into the academic world. Mark took the same idea and has helped introduce three legislative bills within the state. He is also the author of “Second Platoon: Call Sign Hades: A Memoir of the Marines of the Combined Action Company”. His current project is focused on ending perhaps the most troubling epidemic among struggling vets: suicide. Along with the help of a fellow Marine Corps veteran, Bodrog published “22 a Day: A Tragedy in Three Acts.” Written as a play, the 179-page book sheds light on the sheer number of veterans who take their own lives every day. Mark conducted research and drew from his own experiences in writing “22 a Day.” Mark Bodrog’s mission is to be a voice to those who have bravely served, and bring awareness, understanding and compassion to those who have not.


JAMILA A. ODOM-BREMMER CHESILHURST Nominated by: Commissioner Jeff Nash Jamila A. Odom Bremmer, resident of Chesilhurst and Mayor of Chesilhurst Borough, is dedicated to civic awareness, public policy, corporate trailblazing and education. In 2004, Jamila’s first husband was murdered in Camden. She was determined to rise from this misfortune, and to not allow her loss to define her. This led to her to create the ministry “Say Yes to Life.” The organization’s mission is to support people with similar experiences and show them that life goes on after facing a tragedy. Her work quickly caught the attention of long-time Chesilhurst Mayor Michael Blunt, who recruited Jamila as the city’s Drug Alliance Coordinator in 2005. In 2011, Jamila became the first female Pastor of First Baptist Church of Chesilhurst and the Corner Cupboard Food Pantry, founded by her parents Mrs. Jannie and the late Apostle Charlie Odom. The family received recognition from the Camden County Board of Commissioners for their work to end hunger in Camden County. Jamila’s biggest projects include bringing new businesses to Chesilhurst, advocating for a new municipal building, improving the local community center, and providing activities for youth. In November 2019, Jamila was elected Mayor of Chesilhurst Borough Council after serving on council since 2012, including a stint as council president. The position focused on economic development, health, science, technology, and youth leadership. In 2020, Jamila received the prestigious Candance Women of Achievement award from the National Coalition of 100 Black Women of Southern New Jersey Chapter. The award is given annually to women of minority descent to honor their contributions to society and representation of the NCBW mission.


SHIRLEY CONROY COLLINGSWOOD Nominated by: Commissioner Director Lou Cappelli and Shani Nichols Shirley Conroy, resident of Collingswood and Founder of the New Jersey chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, was widely known as a passionate gun violence prevention leader. Shirley dedicated her final years of life advocating for common-sense reforms to make our neighborhoods safer, and supporting the work of organizations addressing Camden’s gun violence problem. She fostered a partnership with the Center for Family Services’ Cure4Camden violence interruption program, helping spread awareness of their work across South Jersey. This resulted in a steady stream of in-kind donations and being selected as the service provider at Cooper Hospital’s new Violence Interruption Program. She also worked with Cure to set up a monthly partnership meeting to bring together like-minded community leaders and city police to encourage collaboration. In everything she did, she amplified the voices of those directly impacted by violence. In 2018, Shirley worked with a group of Urban Promise Academy students to craft narratives about their personal experiences, and when she was called to Trenton to testify about gun law reform, she brought four of these students with her, standing behind them while they shared their stories with NJ Assembly Majority Leader Greenwald. Shirley rallied dozens of volunteers to hand out thousands of ribbons and secure proclamations from their town councils, and worked closely with the Commissioner Board of Camden County to organize an annual Wear Orange event. She saw this as her best opportunity to inspire people to join her in the fight for safer communities. Shirley passed away in October, but her spirit and steadfast commitment to peace continues to drive the work of Moms Demand Action volunteers across New Jersey.


DAVE CORNWELL CLEMENTON Nominated by: Commissioner Jon Young Dave Cornwell, resident of Clementon and Executive Director of Friends of Clementon Food Pantry is a true advocate for food insecurity in Camden County. The Friends of Clementon Food Pantry is a Client-Choice Pantry, which allows clients to choose their own options. Client-Choice pantries resemble small grocery stores with products arrayed on shelves and in coolers and freezers where clients can fill their bags and boxes. The option of choice gives clients a sense of control and variety. Dave is always finding ways to stock his shelves so community members are able to support themselves and their families. At the height of the pandemic, Dave made sure his pantry was consistently stocked with items for breakfast, snacks and lunch for children. In November 2021, Friends of Clementon hosted their first Annual Car Show, raising over $5,000 dollars and a large quantity of food donations. Dave shares a similar path and mindset of Dr. King, fighting to end hunger and deprivation in cities and at tables.


GREG DESHIELDS CHERRY HILL Nominated by: Zach Wilcha Greg DeShields, resident of Cherry Hill and member of the Board of Directors at the Independence Business Alliance is passionate about diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in the community. While his professional accomplishments alone would qualify him for this award, his commitment to community service is what makes Greg an outstanding candidate. Since Greg has been on the board, he has completely transformed the way we think about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work. Greg is a loud voice for the underserved, and his expertise have helped improve the inclusivity of other boards for people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. These Boards include: Boy Scouts of America, the African American Chamber of Commerce for PA, NJ, and DE, the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Asian American Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, and SKAL International. On every volunteer Board he serves, Greg leads with intent and ensures everyone is welcome. As an out LGBTQ+ black man, he has had to navigate uncomfortable and discriminatory spaces to find his place. He is someone who never closes the door behind him, ensuring others won’t have to experience what he had to. Whether he is teaching others the importance of DEI, or raising money to fund the experience for others, Greg is one of Camden County’s most important voices.


FALIO LEYBA-MARTINEZ CAMDEN Nominated by: Commissioner Al Dyer Falio Leyba-Martinez, resident of Camden and Board Member of the Camden City School Advisory is passionate about helping make the city a better place, especially for children. Since joining the board, he’s supported several district initiatives, including a safe zone resolution to assure immigrant parents it’s safe to send their kids to school, and that their personal information won’t be shared with ICE. In addition, the Imm Schools program helps immigrant families find grants and scholarships available for college. Apart from the school board, Falio restarted Little League baseball in East Camden in 2019 after years without this type of outlet for the kids in the neighborhood. Today, just two years later, the league has eight teams with more than 100 kids involved, and a waiting list of three dozen. Falio is an advocate for the Latino community, and is committed to their voices being heard. He is invested in his community as a resident, small business owner and an advocate for our youth.


DIANE MCKENZIE ATCO Nominated by: Mayor Barry Wright Diane McKenzie, resident of Atco and leader of the organization, “Rubies and Pearls”, is known in the Winslow Township community and surrounding area for her tireless efforts to help others, especially young girls. Diane is a mentor and guiding light for those in need. Her organization was established in 2011, and has since recruited and mentored over 132 girls, ages 5-18 years of age. Diane provides assistance to young women through tutoring, personal health, counseling and guidance. In addition to her organization, she is also active in her church, has served as an Emergency Crisis Counselor for Atlantic County for three years, and is a member of the Winslow Township Senior Citizen Association, Winslow Red Hatter’s club and the Winslow Township Drug and Alcohol Alliance Volunteer board. Rubies and Pearls was recognized by the Camden County Commissioners in 2019 for their efforts, and is the recipient of the Martin Luther King Award through Lighthouse Church of Deliverance. Diane is a true example of how we can build up the next generation to ensure they have the skills and resources they need to follow their ambitions, meet their goals and be successful on their own.


MARLA MEYERS VOORHEES Nominated by: Commissioner Jeff Nash Marla Meyers, resident of Voorhees and Executive Director of Samost Jewish Family and Children’s Services of Southern New Jersey, is a social service professional who has devoted the entirety of her 25+ year career to building a stronger and more vibrant community. Marla’s agency assists 10,000 individuals annually, and has instituted numerous new initiatives for our communities most vulnerable members under her leadership. These initiatives include “Right in Our Backyard”, an interactive panel presentation for parents and teens on the critical topic of drug addiction in the suburbs, “Take the Wheel”, a veteran peer to peer driving service, This Life Counts, a teen suicide prevention program, Repair the World, a social justice curriculum for high school students, “Safe House” also know as ‘Charlotte’s Place’ for victims of domestic violence, and “A VISTA” program to assist Holocaust Survivors and a successful corporate philanthropy program. Marla has also overseen the purchase, renovation, and opening of the agency’s Rhona Fischer Family Assistance Building and Betsy & Peter Fischer Food Pantry in Cherry Hill. Marla brings a wealth of knowledge and support to the Camden County Addiction Awareness Task Force (AATF). She provides invaluable insight, concern and uses her agency to increase awareness and education towards achieving the ultimate goal of reducing overdoses, fatalities among Camden County’s residents. Through funding from Gregg Wolfe (a parent who lost his son), her agency, in collaboration with the AATF, provides education for parents, youth in schools and other venues throughout the county. Marla is currently working on securing training for her staff on the use of naloxone (Narcan), and faithfully attends all of the AATF’s meetings and events. Because of residents like Marla, lives are being saved in Camden County.


NICHELLE PACE CAMDEN Nominated by: Commissioner Director Lou Cappelli Nichelle Pace, resident of Camden and Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Camden Business Association possesses an unyielding love for her community and passion for issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Nichelle launched the Small Biz Digital Bootcamp (TM), a series of workshops and consultations to help local small businesses in Camden and the region with affordable resources and education in branding and digital marketing. This work evolved into on-going advocacy of small, women, veteran, and minority-owned businesses in the Camden area. As Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Camden Business Association, she led the organization into a full rebrand and restructuring to better serve the needs of the Camden small business community, and is currently advocating for much-needed COVID relief. Nichelle has also previously served as Associate Vice President of MarComm to the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Marketing Association, the Accreditation Committee Marketing Lead for the African American Chamber of NJ, and on the volunteer Marcomm committee for Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence Region.
