Jack Barry Communications Award
The Jack Barry Communications Award is named for Jack Barry, one of Vermont’s premier communicators. On his television and radio shows, Barry provided a platform for individuals in recovery from mental health conditions and substance use disorders, and he was a powerful advocate about the importance of recovery. As a Vermont State Senator, he reminded us all that individuals can and should speak out publicly on behalf of all Vermonters.
