Eileen Dodge Named One of 2022’s Outstanding Volunteers

Since 2003, the Washington State Genealogical Society has recognized over 600 outstanding volunteers and teams, nominated by their local society or genealogical organization for their service and dedication. These volunteers are the backbone of their local society, giving their time and expertise, to the organization and the field of genealogy. In the coming months, you will be introduced to each of the 2022 award recipients and learn why they received the 2022 WSGS Outstanding Volunteer and Team Award.

Today we’re introducing Eileen Dodge of Olympia, Washington, who was nominated by the Olympia Genealogical Society (OGS).

Eileen Dodge

Eileen served as president of the Olympia Genealogical Society for a number of years. She was membership chair for several years, as well as the newsletter editor. Eileen was in charge of both goodie bags and door prizes for the OGS seminars for many years and she and her husband Norman are there to help with setup and takedown as well at meetings and other events.

Eileen has also been a presenter at the Beginners Workshops for a number of years. Along with Norman, she has assisted a great many people with their research and finding “lost” information, ancestors, and other relatives at drop-in genealogy sessions held at the Olympia Timberland Library.
