Honoring a Wonderful Child Advocate
Earlier today, the child advocacy group The Children’s
League of Massachusetts gathered at the State House to promote their mission supporting
the welfare of children and their families.
The Children’s League of Massachusetts partners with other child advocacy
organizations, legislators and agencies to develop responsible policy aimed to
enhance the well-being of all of the Commonwealth’s children.
During today’s event I was able to speak to the many
supporters in attendance, and had the privilege to honor Gloucester resident
Barbara Talkov with an official Senate citation for her dedication and
commitment to The Children’s League of Massachusetts. Barbara has been serving as its executive director
for 17 years now, and has aided and advocated for numerous policy changes for the
betterment of children and their families.
Through Barbara’s leadership, The Children’s League of
Massachusetts has grown to be one of the most respected and appreciated child advocacy
groups in the Commonwealth, and it has been a real honor to consider Barbara
not only a colleague but a friend. Please
