Presentation: A look at the life and legacy of Geraldine Thompson, a woman whom many cite as having made a significant difference not only in Monmouth County but in the lives of many in NJ. Her former home is now the site of BCC and Thompson Park, part of the Monmouth County Park System. AAUW in Monmouth County intersects with her life in numerous ways including her friendship and partnership in civic life with a number of our members including a former AAUW NJ State President Katharine Elkus White who was the first woman to serve as Chairman of the GSP Commission, first woman Mayor of Red Bank, and Ambassador to Denmark in the 1960’s. The speaker will be Jane Scimeca, a historian who is writing a biography of Geraldine Thompson. In addition we will have a few words from Sue Monroe, a professor at BCC, who was selected a few years ago by national AAUW as one of the members who reviews and participates in the selection process of women applying for AAUW Fellowships in scientific fields.
This presentation is being co-sponsored by WILL, Women In Learning & Leadership, a student club at BCC whose advisor is one of BCC’s College Reps for AAUW. We expect that this will provide an opportunity for us to share AAUW with students, and also hope that our Interbranch members will invite guests to join us in learning more about a woman who made a difference, and is also a fascinating character.
