Unionville High School grad Heather Kalmbach has been named the 2015 winner of the Warren Christopher Award for Outstanding Achievement in Civilian Security, which carries with it a $10,000 prize.
According to the State Department announcement, "This selection was based on Ms. Kalmbach's outstanding performance as the senior national refugee coordinator. This prestigious award recognizes sustained excellence, and initiative in the substantive policy areas of civilian security, democracy, and human rights."
Ms. Kalmbach, who grew up in West Marlborough, is based in the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan.
