Barbara Chocky Memorial Award for Public Service

Barbara was a trailblazer and a role model for many young women throughout her decades of public service. A Master of Public Administration and Registered Nurse, she had a tremendous heart and unwavering commitment to her community, to equality, and to social justice. Barbara was a prominent political leader, a dedicated community activist, and a staunch feminist. She adored children and became engulfed in the lives of her friends' children and grandchildren as if they were her own. The Barbara J. Chocky Memorial Award for Public Service will be presented each spring to a high school senior who embodies Barbara's commitment and dedication to advocacy, electoral politics and government, and civic and community life. Please honor Barbara's legacy by contributing to this fund.
