Ida Ochoteco of Deanna Drive, Hillsborough, was the recipient of the annual Eleanor Roosevelt Award presented by the Somerset County Democrats. Kathryn Lieberman of Riverview Terrace, Hillsborough, received the award given by Hillsborough Democrats.
Both awards, sponsored by the Somerset County Federation of Democratic Women, were presented at a dinner attended by over 150 people on May 17.
The Eleanor Roosevelt Award recognizes women who are dedicated to the ideals of Eleanor Roosevelt and the Democratic Party and who have demonstrated a commitment to work for the good of all the residents in the communities in which they live.
“Kathryn and Ida share the best attributes of people who recognize that just believing in something is not enough,” said Michael Goldberg, Chair of the Hillsborough Democratic Organization. “They have stepped up time and time again to help promote the Democratic Party and turned their beliefs into action. It is an honor and a pleasure to have Ida and Kathryn as part of our organization.”
