Stella Trafford

Stella Trafford, an urban activist and a Copley Square Centennial Committee Board member, was given the challenge to construct an advocacy group for the Square. Trafford and Phebe Goodman, who would become the Friend's first Executive Director, set about recruiting the first Board of Directors. In 1993 Friends of Copley Square (FOCS) was operational with a mission to preserve and enhance the park as a recreational resource for residents, workers, and visitors in the City of Boston.
