Her leadership skills, her commitment to service and her selfless willingness to give back to her community has helped thousands of citizens, small business owners and women leaders in Morris County and throughout the state.

I congratulate her.”

“I have always considered the opportunity to serve my community and state in both the private and public sectors a privilege,” said DeCroce, R-Morris, Essex and Passaic. “To be recognized for doing so is not only a pleasant surprise, but an incredible honor. ”

DeCroce has enjoyed a successful career for more than 30 years in the New Jersey real estate industry.
