From pandemic to progress
For the past two years, the Hatfield Township Board of Commissioners have celebrated the achievements and contributions of women to the township as part of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day. The inspiring stories of these women—members of the military, law enforcement, business owners, volunteers, teachers and other professionals—have been gathered and presented by Ward 3 Commissioner Deb Zimmerman. It's just one example of how she persevered through a difficult start to her term as commissioner to make important contributions to the life of Hatfield Township residents.
A wonderful place
Zimmerman has been a resident of Hatfield for more than four decades, and she and her husband raised their children here. Prior to her role as a township Commissioner, she dedicated herself to her family and career. With a master’s degree in history and museum studies from the University of Delaware and a teacher’s certificate, she spent many years as an educator. While her children were growing up, she actively supported their soccer and baseball teams and volunteered in their classrooms.
What does she love about Hatfield? “The people, the location, the school district, the abundance of things to do—all of those things make Hatfield a wonderful place to live,” she says.
Deb has been a great addition to the Hatfield Board of Commissioners. We are grateful for her efforts, in particular the work she did to recognize the great women in Hatfield and also helping our community mural become a reality.
— Tom Zipfel, President, Hatfield Township Board of Commissioners
