City resident 1 of 8 Outstanding Women of Burlington County Eight Burlington County women were honored for their leadership, achievements and service to their communities during the 2025 Outstanding Women of Burlington County Awards Reception. Among the honorees was Bordentown resident Hilary Chebra, director of government affairs for Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey, who was recognized for her contributions in the business arena. For more than two decades, the Burlington County Commissioners and Burlington County Women’s Advisory Council have honored local females for their contributions to elevating women and improving our communities. This year’s recipients were recognized on Sept. 30 at a reception at the Riverton Country Club in Cinnaminson. “For far too long, the contributions of women were downplayed or ignored, so it’s gratifying to help lead a county that is home to so many outstanding women and to celebrate their achievements and contributions,” said Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson, who serves as liaison to the Women’s Advisory Council, in a statement. “Each of these
women has their own unique story, and each of them has had a significant and lasting impact on Burlington County.” Chebra has served with the CCSNJ since 2020 and is the organization’s go-to for legislative activities and business advocacy in Trenton. She attends legislative hearings, meets with lawmakers, researches legislation and prepares position papers, and also helps execute the chamber’s policy-driven events. Chebra took on her role as director of government affairs in January. “This is an incredible opportunity to continue to lead meaningful advocacy efforts, strengthen connections between our business community and government, and champion policies that drive growth and prosperity across the region,” Chebra said at the time. “Throughout her tenure at the CCSNJ, Hilary has taken her vast public sector experience and applied it successfully to assist our members — while never missing an opportunity to embrace and advocate for the issues of import to South Jersey’s private sector,” said CCSNJ president and CEO Christina See CHEbra, Page 8
