The City of Everett will host the third annual Dorothy Martin Long Luncheon in celebration of Women’s History Month on Saturday, March 14, at 12 p.m. at the Edward G. Connolly Center (90 Chelsea Street).
This special afternoon will honor the legacy of Dorothy Martin Long while celebrating the leadership, resilience and lasting contributions of women in Everett and beyond.
Honoring Dorothy Martin Long's Legacy
The luncheon is named in memory of Dorothy Martin Long, a lifelong Everett resident whose dedication to public service and volunteerism left a lasting impact on the community.
Throughout her life, Long served Everett in many meaningful ways, including:
- Volunteering with organizations such as the Malden YMCA, Mystic Valley Elder Services and Housing Families, Inc.
- Tutoring children who are unhoused for 16 years
- Serving on the Everett School Committee
- Being elected Commissioner of the Everett Charter Commission, where she helped lead the effort to re-write and modernize the City’s constitution
- Serving on the City’s Diversity and Equity Task Force
This Year's Theme
This year’s theme, “Reflections of Her: We Carry Legacy. We Create Synergy. We Are Every Woman,” highlights the strength, unity and intergenerational impact of women throughout Everett.
The luncheon celebrates the visions, voices and achievements of women as part of the City’s broader recognition of Women’s History Month.
An Afternoon of Celebration and Connection
Guests will enjoy an elegant high tea and lunch while gathering in reflection, connection and celebration.
The City of Everett is proud to welcome City Council President Stephanie Smith as this year’s keynote speaker. As Council President, Smith leads the first majority-female City Council in Everett’s history.
“This luncheon is an opportunity to honor the women who have shaped our community and to celebrate those who continue to lead, inspire and uplift others every day,” said Robert J. Van Campen. “Women’s History Month reminds us that progress is built on the strength, dedication and vision of women across generations.”
