NJCWG Member Wins Prestigious Award


Our own Chris Sagona recently was awarded the First Amendment Award from the New Jersey Press Association. This award is given to reporters who have uncovered something that citizens would otherwise not have known and something that changed the community after it was revealed. Her story was in competition with numerous other stories throughout New Jersey and this is truly an honor that can be shouted from the roof tops.

On behalf of the NJCWG I wish Chris hearty congratulations. I know this won't be the last writing award offered her .

Title of her investigative series: The Elephant in the Town's Living Rooms
A few of the subtitles in this six part series: Why Homeowners Who Renovate Whisper, The Blueprint For Red Tape, When Too Many Requirements Aren't Enough, and The Secret's Out!
Results of Her Investigative Piece: municipal firings, laws were changed AND her articles were read on the floor of the state senate

Please join me in congratulating Chris and wishing her addtional future success.

Quote From Chris Sagona: "I feel very blessed and very grateful! Thank you for your prayers!"
To God be the glory!
