Barbara A. Rickard began work with Mr. Peacock in November 1963 as a secretary and bookkeeper. In 1965, she became a Director of Peacock Foundation, Inc. Working tirelessly to help ensure the effectiveness of the Foundation’s grant making, Ms. Rickard became President and CEO in the late 1990s. She stepped down from the Board in January 2012, after nearly fifty years of service. Until her passing in April 2016, Barbara was a quiet presence, a deep listener, and a thoughtful leader. Because of her conscientious grant making, Miami is a stronger community. She is missed but not forgotten.
