Plymouth Resident To Be Inducted into MN DFL Women's Hall of Fame

The Women’s Summit Committee has chosen Audrey Britton of Plymouth for induction into the 14th Annual Minnesota DFL Women’s Hall of Fame as a Rising Star on Saturday, June 8, at The Prom Center in Oakdale.

A communications professional and small business owner, Britton began contributing her skills and ideas to the 3rd Congressional District Communications Committee.  She made a definite impact and was asked to run for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 43A in 2010. 

Although the district was strongly Republican and the odds were against her, Audrey took on the challenge to weaken the Republican dominance and learned as much as possible about the issues at hand.  Despite the loss in 2010, she ran again in 2012 and came very close to turning the district blue.  Britton’s expertise in communications earned her a volunteer job as an interviewer for Real Progress TV, and she also currently serves as a Board Member of Small Business Minnesota.

The Minnesota DFL Women’s Hall of Fame, sponsored by The Women’s Summit Committee, is now in their very successful 14th year. The DFL Women’s Hall of Fame is the only award exclusively focusing on women. They recognize a broad range of female activists, both those new to the cause and trailblazers. These women contributed to state and national public policy-making and/or DFL campaigns. They have infused the DFL with new ideas and energy. The Women’s Summit Committee offers two categories for the Hall of Fame.

The Rising Star category honors promising young women the Committee believes will be future party leaders. The Women of Distinction category honors women who have inspired, mentored, and blazed the trail for those who came after.

The Women’s Summit Committee believes they have chosen Rising Stars that they will be even more proud to know ten years from now. These young women have shown party or campaign leadership as well as dedication to bringing other women into the DFL. A Rising Star strives to shape public policy consistent with DFL ideals.
