Heather Lata

Shefik was an asset to our judge's panel at the Triple Crown Local Pageant within the Miss New Jersey Education Foundation and Miss America Organization. Shefik was passionate about his responsibilities and conducted himself in a professional manner.

Former Miss America 2000 Heather French Henry states, "Volunteering is at the very core of being a human. No one has made it through life without someone else's help."

Volunteers, such as Shefik and (his crew), were key elements in running a successful event and growing programs like ours. I appreciate his support very much.
