More than 70 Northwestern Polytechnic (NWP) donors and delegates gathered today in Clarkson Hall at Evergreen Park for the NWP President’s Awards Luncheon. The annual event, hosted by the Alumni/Foundation, was established in 2004 and honours donors and outstanding alumni with NWP’s most prestigious awards.
“We are so very fortunate to have such exceptional talent, goodwill and entrepreneurial energy in our communities,” said Justin Kohlman, Northwestern Polytechnic CEO and President. “These dedicated alumni and friends have been integral in not only supporting NWP’s advancement, but also in uplifting our community with kindness, generosity and compassion.”
Northwestern Polytechnic’s Board of Governors Chair, Bridget Hennigar, had the privilege of presenting the 2022 honours to this year’s awardees including:
- The Board of Governors Award of Distinction - Natalia Reiman
- The Distinguished Alumni Award - Yuri Smith
- The Distinguished Volunteer Award - Brenda Krahn
- The Indigenous Community Impact Award - Joseph Redhead and Elizabeth Peterson
- The Steps to the Greater Alumni Award - Jesse Griffin
“These awards are reserved each year for remarkable individuals or groups within our community,” said Hennigar. “It is always such a pleasure to reward the true leaders who work tirelessly for the benefit of us all.”
Following the award announcements, 12 new members were inducted to the NWP President’s Council. The President’s Council consists of individuals who have completed service to NWP on the Board of Governors or Alumni/Foundation Board of Directors, volunteered as Chairperson of a major fundraising event, made a planned gift to the institution, or received a distinguished NWP award.
