Annabel Kitzhaber Education and Advocacy Award Ceremony

The League of Women Voters of Lane County extends our heartfelt congratulations to Linda Lynch, past President and 50 year League member as we honor her with the Annabel Kitzhaber Education and Advocacy Award.

In August 2005 the LWVLC established the Annabel Kitzhaber Education and Advocacy Award. This award is presented to a League member or an outstanding citizen of Lane County for long-term commitment to the community in the spirit of League’s mission of education and advocacy. Criteria for the LWVLC Annabel Kitzhaber Education and Advocacy Award:

• Leadership
• Significant contribution to the principles of the League of Women Voters
• Positive impact in the community and the League
• Participation and facilitation in public issues for the good of the community
• Long-term commitment to education and advocacy of public policy issues
• Statesmanship in dealing with divergent points of view
• Dedication to grassroots involvement of citizens in government

As Leaguer Betsy Boyd tells us: her working years, Linda was known for providing effective strategic counsel and building community through mentorship, convening, and a commitment to equity and inclusion especially in the careful understanding of open meetings laws and effective voter participation laws. She was a trusted advisor to elected officials and senior staff alike while also supporting early career colleagues in getting a sound start. There is so much more. Time to party. Join us!
