North Jersey Local Committee

Each local chapter has a Local Committee as its governing body. The local committee is a fellowship of Christians who have the responsibility and privilege of reaching the children in its own geographic area. It is the role of the Board or Committee to provide leadership to the chapter which includes:

Carol Bradbury, Secretary

Linda Parzek

The committee supports the leadership of the Local Director. On October 14, 2024 Linda Schramm became only the third local director in the 55 year history of the Chapter, Linda’s hiring came after only a brief 2 months since the retirement from the ministry of the previous long-tenured local director, Twyla Pelegrino—truly evidence of God’s desire to have the work thrive into the future.

Linda is also supported by the Office Associate who carries out many administrative duties. Onesia Fuentes has also recently joined the staff to fill that role.
