Women Aware recently announced the appointment of Sid Shah to its Board of Trustees.
Mr. Shah is the co-founder of Trackmind Solutions, a successful software development and design firm that got its start in New Brunswick, NJ. A Rutgers Engineering graduate, he believes strongly in the importance of education and lifelong learning, values that resonate deeply within his family. Mr. Shah advocates for learning opportunities for individuals of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. He feels that education allows for social mobility, personal development and ultimately, societal improvement.
Mr. Shah and his wife, Sonali, both Rutgers alumni, are committed supporters of Women Aware. They believe in the organization’s mission to help women and families in need.
“We are excited to welcome Sid to the Board of Trustees,” said Board President Diane Palmer. “In the months since Sid first connected with Women Aware at our annual 5K as a corporate sponsor and runner recruiter, he and Sonali have demonstrated their commitment to expand Women Aware’s connections in the community and engage like-minded partners in supporting individuals moving beyond abuse.”
“I joined Women Aware because I understand how deeply trauma can affect not only individuals, but entire generations,” said Mr. Shah. “I believe strongly in the importance of giving women a supportive, healing environment to reduce the long-lasting impacts of trauma. By focusing efforts on recovery and resilience, we can create a safe, nurturing environment that helps combat the effects of domestic abuse and violence.”
