Barbara Dubovich
2011 YWCA Woman of Achievement

The Alaska Council Board of Director’s wishes to congratulate the Council’s CEO Barbara Dubovich for being one of ten women honored as a 2011 YWCA Woman of Achievement. This prestigious award recognizes women for their extraordinary leadership and service to the community.

Barb began her career with Camp Fire USA Alaska Council in the fall of 1981 as a Site Director. The next school year, Barb was promoted to the position of Program Director and during the course of over 20 years she helped grow the program to over 30 different program sites, serving over 1200 youth a day.

In 2002, she became the Alaska Council’s CEO. A tenure of 30 years with the same organization is an accomplishment in and of itself, but Barb is also an extraordinary leader, demonstrating tremendous focus and resiliency, empowering all who come to know her, to thrive in spite of the odds. Her tireless commitment to ensuring the best possible experiences for our youth, our families and our staff is an inspiration to all.

Barb has been instrumental in insuring Camp Fire is an organization focused on providing quality programs for Alaska’s children and vital support for working families. Along with the dedication needed to provide vision and management to the organization, Barb has cared for her own extended family, acquired a Master’s degree in Education and strongly advocated for youth, families and the staff who work in the youth development field. She serves as CEO of one of the largest councils in the Camp Fire national network and is a recognized strong leader in our nonprofit community.

Congratulations, Barb!
