Distinguished Service Award We are very fortunate to have devoted members that volunteer their time in a variety of capacities over the course of decades. It is because of these people that we are able to continually provide our current offerings at both the region and the state level. Betsy Maliszewski is a string specialist for the West Orange Public Schools, also teaching string methodology classes at Rutgers, Caldwell, New Jersey City University and the University of the Arts Summer Music Program at Villanova. She has become a staple at the New Jersey conference scene, frequently presenting, year after year, sharing her knowledge and love of teaching for the betterment of our New Jersey teachers and students. Congratulations to Betsy on receiving the Distinguished Service Award.
