ABOUT US
The Dodie Londen Excellence in Public Service Series was first brought to Arizona by founder and Pennsylvania Republican National Committeewoman, Christine Toretti with Executive Director Bernadette Comfort in 2007. The Arizona program is named after the well-known and respected former AZ GOP Chairwoman Dodie Londen and is part of the National Excellence in Public Service Series.
In 2011, after successfully supporting both the Pennsylvania and Arizona programs for four years Christine handed over the reins of the program to the Board of Governors, with Lisa James as Chairwoman and Kim Owens as Executive Director. The program has continued to grow under the guidance of the esteemed Board of Governors and with the ongoing support of generous benefactors.
