Congratulations to Jennifer Northam ’91, Director of Alumni Relations, winner of the 2022 Pete & Hedda Reid Service to Walla Walla Award!
Northam is an active contributor to Walla Walla and an exceptional ambassador for Whitman College in the community. She currently serves as Board President for the Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival, which presents more than 40 public performances annually in Walla Walla. Prior to joining Whitman College in 2013, Northam worked for the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation, coordinating large events that built community and showcased our beautiful region, including Feast Walla Walla, the Downtown Summer Concert Series, the Wheelin’ Walla Walla Weekend car show and the Macy’s Parade of Lights.
This year, the Pete & Hedda Reid Award was given in honor of Bob Tobin, a Whitman College faculty member for 18 years starting in 1989, who taught German and Gender Studies classes and was known for his generosity of spirit and passion for activism.
The award was presented publicly last week at the annual meeting of the Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce.
