The Harry Barnes Award

Peacham Community Housing is dedicated to providing affordable housing for Peacham residents while offering and supporting programs and services that enhance the quality of life for all in Peacham. This community enjoys remarkable volunteer service in support of the health and safety, welfare, cultural vitality, education and community spirit that define and distinguish Peacham. The PCH Board of Directors honors and celebrates that extraordinary community service by presenting the annual Harry Barnes Award. A former diplomat and US ambassador to Romania, India and Chile, Harry Barnes also served as director of the Carter Center's Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Programs and as a founder of the Institute for Sustainable Communities, based here in Vermont. Arriving in Peacham upon his retirement from government service, along with his wife, writer Betsey Barnes, he soon found himself involved in local volunteer activities and brought energy, wisdom and vision to community endeavors from senior housing to the creation of a community cafe and store. Harry Barnes died in 2012. Harry Barnes' life of service exemplifies the long tradiion that has been the backbone of Peacham community's character. Each year at its Annual Meeting, PCH will announce one or more recipients of the Harry Barnes Award, recognizing those whose extraordinary volunteer service has sustained the spirit that Harry embodied.
