Join Us As We Honor This Year’s Zorbo Award Winners
Eunice Zorbo was a very dedicated and committed NAMI member along with her husband, Tony. She livened up meetings in a very positive way with her outgoing personality and her smile. Her approach was always helpful because she sought to look for solutions and outcomes to issues rather than “what was”. After her death in 1994, the award was established in her honor to encourage like characteristics in others.
Tony Zorbo was instrumental in creating The Citizens Monitoring Program and he was tireless in his service on behalf of those living with mental illnesses. Since 1994 the award has come to recognize a member of the community who has worked to eliminate prejudice and demonstrated belief in recovery through support, education, and advocacy.
Nominations for this award may be submitted at any time by any member of the general public. Submissions are reviewed and the recipient is chosen by the NAMI Board of Directors.
