of the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee (ADC-NJ) takes a great
pride in congratulating Mrs. Sherine El-Abd on her latest appointment to the

Sherine El-Abd, First Vice President of the New Jersey Federation of
Republican Women and an active member of ADC-NJ has been recently appointed
to the New Jersey Advisory Committees (SAC) of the US Commission on Civil
Rights. The SAC is composed of citizens familiar with local and state civil

dissemination functions. Individual members of these committees are
recommended by the regional director of their area, approved by the Staff

term of office is 2 years, but they can be reappointed.
Appointed by former Governor Christine T. Whitman, Sherine served a five
