Stephanie Zamora has been awarded the Gabe Zimmerman Public Service Award, which recognizes nonelected public employees throughout Arizona for their commitment to civic service.

“CFA is honored to present the Gabe Zimmerman Public Service Awards as an essential part of advancing ‘the Arizona we want,’” Dr. Sybil Francis, chair, president and CEO of CFA.

“While highly visible elected officials set policy direction and make important decisions, our nonelected public servants and the roles they fill are not as easily observed yet vital to the quality of life in Arizona.”

The award is named after Gabe Zimmerman, a community outreach director who died in a mass shooting in 2011 at an event for Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
