Historical NoteReturn to Top

Karen Shepherd was born in Silver City, New Mexico, on 5 July 1940, to LaVerna and Ralph Felker. Felker's job with the U. S. Department of Agriculture required frequent moves, and Karen and her younger brother, Gary were educated in a variety of schools in small towns in Utah. Shepherd received a B.A. in English from the University of Utah in 1962 and was awarded an M.A. in British Literature at Brigham Young University the following year. Shepherd taught high school and college English in Utah, in Washington, and at the American University of Cairo. In 1974, Shepherd served as Utah County coordinator for the Wayne Owens for Senate Campaign. She was affiliated with the Salt Lake County Division of Social Services in the mid-1970s, serving first as assistant to the director and then as director. In 1978 Shepherd became director of continuing education for Westminster College. That year also saw the debut of Network magazine, a publication designed for women moving away from traditional home-centered roles. Shepherd was editor of Network and president of Webster Publishing for ten years. In 1988, she was appointed director of development and community relations for the Graduate School of Business and College of Business at the University of Utah. In 1992, Shepherd defeated Republican Enid Greene for the 2nd district congressional seat on a platform that stressed children's issues, fiscal responsibility, deficit reduction, and congressional reform. Following her defeat by Greene in 1994, Shepherd taught at the Institute of Politics at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. After serving as an election monitor on the West Bank and Gaza, she joined former President Jimmy Carter and an international delegation in monitoring the January 1996 election in that area. She was appointed as U.S. Executive Director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in 1996.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Karen Shepherd papers document this Congresswoman's term as the representative for Utah's 2nd district in the United States House of Representatives, her campaigns, and her tenure as U. S. Executive Director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The bulk of the collection centers around congressional reform, an important issue for members of the freshman class of the 103rd Congress, many of whom campaigned on reform platforms. The collection contains correspondence, notebooks, speeches, research files, news clippings, drafts of bills and resolutions, press releases, memorabilia, and reports prepared by the Congressional Research Service, the Democratic Study Group, and private lobbyist organizations. In addition to congressional reform, Shepherd was interested in women's issues, the environment, crime, welfare, the North American Free Trade Agreement, land use, community development, and the Theater Missile Defense and Advanced Solid Rocket Motor programs. There are also records for the Karen Shepherd Fund, an organization which provided stipends to students from Utah's higher education institutions so that they may earn credit while working for the state's Democratic politicians and political candidates.
