Meet Quanette!
A longtime resident of Middle Township, New Jersey, Quanette Vasser-McNeal and her husband have raised their blended family of biological and adoptive children in Whitesboro for over 20 years.
She graduated from Lower Cape May Regional High School in 1992 and went on to attend Atlantic Cape Community College and Stockton University, receiving a bachelor’s degree in social work. She is a licensed cosmetologist, a licensed NJ Realtor and a Notary. She also holds a certification for cosmetology and a real estate license.
Truly a person of the community, Quanette has built her multifaceted career completely in Cape May County. She is a small business owner and has operated a local hair salon for over 18 years. While building and running her business, she also pursued a social work career and is currently a state-certified social worker. Additionally, she is an active real estate agent in Cape May Court House.
In 2020, Quanette was elected President of the Cape May County NAACP and is proud of the projects she participated in and initiated during her tenure. Among many achievements, the group successfully advocated for local housing authorities to amend their policies on discriminatory no-trespass lists under Quanette’s leadership. The group has also focused on meeting resident needs, including distribution of food, school supplies, and hoodies, and on registering voters to increase community participation in the political landscape.
Quanette currently serves as an executive board member for Habitat for Humanity and for the Cape May County NAACP, and is Vice President of Middle Township Democratic Club. She is a member of the Middle Township Law Enforcement Engagement Committee as well as the County Prosecutor’s Social Justice Committee. Her community involvement allows her to be in tune with the needs and desires of Township residents.
