Chalkley-Fenn Public Policy Visiting Scholar Award

The Chalkley-Fenn Public Policy Visiting Scholar Award was established in 1990 to honor the work of Gladys Branegan Chalkley, president and treasurer of AAFCS from 1940-1942. Dr. Chalkley founded the Montana Affiliate of AAFCS, as well as the state's dietetic association and its chapter of the American Association of University Women. This public policy scholarship is also funded by a generous gift from the estate of Geraldine G. Fenn, a South Dakota native who joined the Montana 4-H staff in 1946. Following retirement as an Extension specialist, Ms. Fenn spearheaded development of the 4-H Foundation for Montana and served as a youth advocate at state and national levels.

The Chalkley-Fenn Award program is designed to stimulate interest in public policy as it affects the family and consumer sciences profession; educate scholars in various aspects of policymaking; and provide avenues for interaction with members of the U.S. Congress and leaders of various family and consumer sciences-related organizations.
