Hersey award goes to Trina Young

THE MARY HERSEY AWARD for outstanding achievement in Labor was presented by Council 2’s Women’s Action Committee this year to Staff Representative Trina Young, who represents Council 2 in Southwest Washington.

Young first joined Council 2 25 years ago as a member of Local 275, Grays Harbor County.

Staff Representative Trina Young, center, displays the Mary Hersey Award she received. With her are Denny O’Neil, Local 307-VC, who nominated her, and Lois Clement, Chair, Women’s Action Committee.

She was a state executive board member for 11 years and was hired as a staff representative in May last year. She works out of the Lacey office.

Denny O’Neil, president of Local 307-vc. nominated Young for the award. O’Neil, who works for the City of Vancouver, said Young typifies the qualities of Mary Hersey, after whom, the award is named.

Among the criteria taken into account in presenting the award are:

  • Advancement in leadership roles and/or activism within the labor movement.
  • Outstanding service within the labor community.
  • Service in a leadership role beneficial to labor.
  • Service in a leadership role in coping with critical issues such as worker safety, minimum wage, comparable worth, human services, and political action needs.
