The Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey (CIANJ) recognized Lynn Stamatelatos, Director, Corporate and Community Relations, New Jersey, Berkeley College, among its 2025 Enterprising Women in Commerce on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at the Glen Ridge Country Club in Glen Ridge, NJ.

According to CIANJ, the Enterprising Women in Commerce Awards celebrate women who “inspire and encourage others daily and are leaving their mark in their chosen profession.”

“Lynn Stamatelatos exemplifies leadership through her efforts to bridge the gap between higher education and the community at-large,” said Diane Recinos, EdD, President of Berkeley College. “Lynn forges innovative partnerships between Berkeley College and New Jersey industries, nonprofits, and civic organizations, creating a pipeline for internships and workforce development that benefits both students and business. Lynn’s story is a powerful example of how the right support can ensure every student has the tools and opportunity to succeed.”

Stamatelatos oversees the Berkeley College Corporate Learning Partnership program in New Jersey, cultivating relationships with businesses, local governments, and nonprofits, and facilitating higher education and training initiatives for their workforces.

The Berkeley College Corporate Learning Partnership program offers discounted tuition and customized training to employees seeking skills to advance their careers. More than 175 companies are currently enrolled in the program.

“I am so grateful to be among this year’s remarkable list of Enterprising Women in Commerce,” Stamatelatos said. “It is an honor to be recognized for work I am passionate about: empowering students to believe in their own potential and supporting employers in addressing workforce needs. It is a privilege to build partnerships that strengthen New Jersey industries and communities while creating pathways for students to gain real-world experience, grow in confidence, and embark on meaningful careers.”

Stamatelatos is a lifelong community volunteer, most recently focusing on fundraising with Families for Families (NJ) and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.
