About NJ ACE Women's Network


ACE Women’s Network – New Jersey is a statewide organization committed to your professional development. We are affiliated with the American Council on Education.

Our Board of Directors is comprised of dedicated and influential volunteers from colleges and universities across the state who, through a variety of programs, seek to identify, develop, encourage, support, link and help advance women in higher education. To that end, each year we host two conferences that are specifically tailored to meet your professional development needs, based on feedback we receive from participants.
