Burlington County sheriff honored

Since the mid-1990’s, Jean Stanfield has received many awards and honors from many organizations, for her work in law enforcement, human relations, and many other community service endeavors.

On Thursday, April 25 the Volunteer Center of Burlington County will bring her many accomplishments into the spotlight when it presents her with its prestigious Lloyd Ritter Community Service Award at a dinner being held in his honor.

“Jean has been the sheriff of Burlington County for more than 10 years, and that certainly has sparked her involvement in the community,” said Kimberly Mattson, President of the Volunteer Center. “But many of her affiliations and honors with and from charitable and other organizations precede her elevation to public office.

“Anyone familiar with Jean’s work will readily agree she is most deserving of this honor.”

The Volunteer Center’s award dinner will be held at 6 p.m. at Deerwood Country Club, 845 Woodlane Road, Westampton.

Individuals interested in supporting or attending this special event should contact the center at (609) 894–9311, Extension 1492. Tickets are $70.

Stanfield, of Westampton, will be the 14th recipient of the Lloyd Ritter Community Service Award.
