Mary G. Roebling

January 1, 1981

Chairman of the Board The National State Bank (Deceased) – Trenton, New Jersey

Mary G. Roebling’s business and professional career is a succession of ‘firsts.’ Ranging in scope from “first woman to serve as Governor of the American Stock Exchange” (in 1965-66) through some dozen additional ‘firsts’ in a wide range of business, civic and governmental service endeavors, Mrs. Roebling exemplifies the highest qualities of personal achievement. She is Chairman of the Board of the National State Bank, Elizabeth, N.J. and Chairman of the Board of Women’s Bank N.A. of Denver, an institution she helped establish in 1978. Her distinguished career encompasses service to the private and public sectors and she has been the recipient of some forty-two special awards and honorary degrees. “To continue to strive forward, we must use our creativity, resourcefulness, perception, exploration, experimentation, entrepreneurship and certainly, our daring.”
