Emma Lou Sederholm

The League of Women Voters is proud to honor Emma Lou Sederholm with the 2014 Making Democracy Work Award. 

In 1964, Emma Lou was one of several community women who worked together to establish a local League of Women Voters in Whitewater. Of all our "founding mothers," Emma Lou alone remains a member of this league to this day. Many have since moved, and many, sadly, have passed away.

We honor Emma Lou for her founding work and 50-year commitment to our league and, in doing so, we also give our heartfelt gratitude and recognition to the entire core group of organizers.
