About Judy Barrett
For nearly 20 years, Judy Barrett has served on the Propeller Club Port of Norfolk’s board in several capacities, including board member, secretary, and advisor. She also represented the Norfolk chapter on the International Propeller Club board, where she served as regional vice president and treasurer for ten years. She has volunteered countless hours of her time to ensure the club’s success, directly impacting donations to numerous local charities.
Judy is a Hampton Roads native and Senior Vice President of private banking for Townebank’s Norfolk corporate offices. In addition to the Propeller Club, she has served on the boards of the Virginia Maritime Association, Festevents, Nauticus, the Schooner Virginia, and Park Place School, a non-profit organization that benefits at-risk students.
Judy’s decades of service have left a lasting impact on the maritime community in Hampton Roads and beyond.
Honoring Service and Investing in Future Leaders
In recognition of Judy’s dedication to the community and her passion for serving others, The Propeller Club Port of Norfolk established The Hampton Roads Community Foundation - Judy Barrett Fund to ensure her legacy continues to shape the next generation of maritime leaders.
The fund supports the Nauticus Foundation’s Sail Nauticus program, a community sailing school that serves a diverse group of need-based students across Hampton Roads. Through this experiential program, students gain academic, social, and leadership skills. These skills are rooted in sailing and STEM education and expose participants to potential career paths in the maritime industry.
“I am extremely honored that The Propeller Club Port of Norfolk has created an endowment in my name to ensure that local children are able to attend the Nauticus Sailing program for many years to come. Without this program, many children would not be exposed to water safety, learning to sail, and establishing life skills through teamwork both on land and water. Words can’t express enough how much I appreciate this kind gift and legacy. I will treasure this always and watch it grow with contributions.”
