REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Recognition of District 1 Resident Jennifer Whitten
Report
BACKGROUND
Jennifer Whitten moved to Santa Clara, California from Austin, Texas in January 2011. Within a month of moving to Santa Clara, Jennifer started volunteering regularly at Don Callejon School, by helping set up at the annual Science Fair and making herself available for anyone who needed assistance. In addition to volunteering for Santa Clara Unified School District, Jennifer gave so much of her time and energy supporting local non-profit organizations, such as Music Boosters and JW House. Through her dedicated volunteer efforts, Jennifer has demonstrated what it means to give back to the community and hopes that others will be encouraged to share their time and talents in supporting the Santa Clara community.
This summer, Jennifer Whitten and her family will move back to Austin, Texas. The City of Austin is re-gaining a resident who will no doubt continue the exemplary volunteer work that the city of Santa Clara has seen over the last nine years.

The Santa Clara City Council will recognize Jennifer Whitten at the July 14, 2020 City Council Meeting by presenting her with a Certificate of Special Mayoral Recognition (Attachment 1) in honor of her outstanding community contributions.
