The Audrey I. Newman Scholarship
For over 20 years Audrey Newman had a successful career in the advertising industry, with the firms of Benton & Bowles, N W Ayer, and Ted Bates Advertising. The last position she held was Vice President and Director of Client Accounting, managing a staff of 30 and annual sales of over $500 million. When she left the advertising industry in 1988, Ms. Newman switched industries and became the Business Manager (CFO) for Children’s Aid and Family Services of New Jersey in Paramus. Her experience at Children’s Aid and Family Services was the impetus for this scholarship. Ms. Newman enrolled in Ramapo College to finish her degree, and in 1993 earned her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Since her graduation Ms. Newman has remained active in the Ramapo community by taking classes, joining the Friends of Ramapo, and attending cultural events.
