• Frances Riker Davis '15 Award

  The family and friends of Frances Riker Davis ’15 established this award in 1967 to honor the tradition of public service, which Mrs. Davis embodied. The annual award recognizes Brearley alumnae for ongoing, dedicated service to the public good, as demonstrated professionally and/or through volunteerism. The award is given to alumnae who identify a need, create a solution and effect change, and whose unique efforts have made a significant impact on the lives of others over time. Each year’s honoree speaks at a Middle and Upper School assembly in the fall. Recent recipients include Margaret Kohn ’65, a lawyer who advocates for children with disabilities; Susan Popkin Wadsworth ’54, founder of Young Concert Artists; and Nina Schwalbe ’84, Director of Policy for the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development.

  The Frances Riker Davis Committee considers candidates who have been nominated by their classmates and fellow alumnae. The committee then presents a short list of nominees to a selection committee comprised of past honorees.
