The Vin Gopal Civic Association is a non-profit that helps individuals in Central Jersey who are negatively affected by the unique high cost of living and who struggle to maintain economic independence.

This year’s theme for Trinity AME’s Annual Remarkable Women Awards was “Lift Her Up” as a reminder of the organization’s mission to guide and direct young women to ensure they are lifted to new levels in life.

Fitzpatrick has been an NABCA member since 2009. She has served in a variety of leadership roles, including conference site host at the Brookdale Community College Freehold Campus and Long Branch Center. Fitzpatrick’s service also includes Delegate at Large for the Executive Committee for 2013-2014, Conference Chair in 2014-2015, Vice President in 2015-2016 and President in 2016-2017.
