The ISSC is pleased to present the 2025 Peter G. Bernard, Q.C. Volunteer Award to Revered Judith Alltreefor her invaluable service to seafarers with her longstanding work with the Missions to Seaman around the country. Rev. Alltree is a lifelong servant-leader, and Judith’s recognition celebrates years of quiet, compassionate service — visiting ships, supporting crews, and being there when it matters most.And most recently, Rev. Alltree was nominated and shortlisted at the 8th Annual Mission to Seafarers, 2025 Seafarers Award. This is an annual international crew-welfare awards event held in Singapore. Although she did not win an award the organizers were delighted that she traveled to the event as the nomination itself was considered by many to be something of an “award”.
The ISSC Board of Directors established the Peter G. Bernard, K.C. Volunteer Recognition Award in 2015 to recognize Peter’s contribution to the Society as a member of the ISSC Board from 1977 to 2014 (37 years). This annual award seeks to recognize others that generously contribute their time to support the welfare of seafarers. “
