Several organizations have recognized Barbara for her contributions to their work. In 2008, the Houston Ballet awarded her the Joanne Isaacman Award of excellence. She was also the honoree for the 2002 Angels of Hope luncheon benefiting child advocates.
Barbara is a volunteer who is not afraid of rolling up her sleeves and jumping into the trenches. A director at one of the organizations she has long supported says it like this: "Barbara is a beautiful and powerful reminder that the spirit of volunteerism is alive and well."
