The Margaretta Belin Chamberlin Award is presented annually to a woman who demonstrates the following qualities:

  • Tolerance and sensitivity in response to the human condition
  • Achievement of goals which demonstrate commitment and creativity, and serve as a model and inspiration to others
  • Leadership in empowering and transforming the lives of women and girls in the community

The Margaretta Belin Chamberlin Award has been presented since 1992 when a fund was established by the family of Margaretta Belin Chamberlin both to honor her memory and to recognize accomplishments of women in our community while encouraging their personal and/or professional development. The award is given annually to either a volunteer or professional woman who exemplifies the characteristics of Margaretta, including community-mindedness, tolerance, sensitivity, and leadership.
