Awards
The Beverly Democratic City Committee has two major awards: the John and Marguerite Condon Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Marguerite “Peg” Sullivan Outstanding Service Award. The Committee may give an award for Distinguished or Special Service to the Democratic Party. These are not necessarily awarded every year, but rather when the Committee is moved to do so.
