The Annual Dottie Stimpson Award
The Dottie Stimpson award “honors a woman who has demonstrated perseverance, persistence, patience, passion, commitment and leadership such as Dottie Stimpson has over the years as she founded the Idaho Democratic Women’s Caucus. Dottie’s work on behalf of the Democratic Party and the Women’s Caucus has been significant, and in this way we honor her loyalty, energy, and support.”
Dottie Stimpson, a long-time Democratic activist in Washington, D.C., before moving to Idaho in 1990, is a former Idaho Democratic National Committee member and co-founder of the IDWC. In January 2001, the IDWC announced the first annual award named for Dottie.
The award is presented annually at the winter meeting of the IDWC in Boise following the Frank Church Dinner. Next year’s meeting will be held on Sunday, February 26, 2012.
