Mayor Brenda Bozeman announced Debra Pickett as Citizen of the Year 2023 at the Dec. 14 Town Council Meeting. Pickett was chosen for voluntarily serving her community in varying capacities.

Pickett actively serves many regional organizations and participates in service project events. She is an active board member of the North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce and was named the North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce Woman of the Year in 2022 and 2023 for her commitment to the chamber and the community.
