Camillone has been an active member of ATSNJ, having served as its first female president (1991-92), and as a member of the Women in Athletic Training Committee on both the state and national levels. She received the ATSNJ's Distinguished Service Award in 2006. Currently she is a member of the Athletic Training Advisory Committee for the State Board of Medical Examiners.
