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 2024 award recipients and learn why they received they received a WSGS Outstanding Volunteer and Team Award.
Today we’re introducing Connie Timperley Davis of Castle Rock, Washington who was selected by the Lower Columbia Genealogical Society as its recipient of a WSGS Outstanding Volunteer Award.
Connie has been a very active member of LCGS for many years. She is currently a trustee, a board member and she serves on the program committee. She is a strong advocate for promoting informational and motivational speakers to present programs at each monthly meeting. She goes above and beyond in giving her own time to research potential speakers to meet the needs of the society’s members.
Connie has also taken on the responsibility of personally hand delivering the society’s flyers to various venues in order to advertise the society’s upcoming monthly meetings. Connie is most deserving of this award as she quietly and enthusiastically works behind the scenes to promote the society.

In a one-time departure from the norm, the WSGS Board of Directors awarded Supportive Grants to six of the societies that applied for grants. In the past, only two grants have been awarded. This year, however, the Board agreed with the reviewers that all six society projects deserved funding. The average amount of each grant was $250. Diane Huckabay, WSGS Education Chair, announced the awards at the Annual Meeting on August 30, 2024.
The grants were awarded to:
Black Genealogy Research Group of Seattle – Two registrations to attend the Family Tree Magazine University Courses. The two attendees will share their knowledge at monthly BGRG meetings.
Clallam County Genealogical Society — Defray some of the costs of speakers for their “Speakers’ Series.”
Jefferson County Genealogical Society – Support publicity for the society’s 40th anniversary celebration. It will also support their speaker from Scotland (on Zoom).
Lower Columbia County Genealogical Society – Print and distribute brochures advertising/ promoting the society, so they can be placed around a variety of local establishments, mostly libraries.
Okanogan County Genealogical Society – Fund a web page that documents Okanogan County cemeteries and the individuals buried in those cemeteries.
Sno-Isle County Genealogical Society – Fund the purchase of audio and visual equipment to support hybrid online and in-person meetings.
