New Chamber Employee:
Meet Our Grants/Events Manager
Eleana Pawl has joined the Greater University Chamber of Commerce as Grants/Events Manager. She is not a stranger to the U-District. Her involvement began in 2002 when she was hired to design the StreetFair poster.
The same year, Eleana volunteered as designer and then steering committee member for the U-District Youth and Community Project. UYAP employed homeless youth to beautify the U-District and help build better community relations by formally meeting with the police (Donut Dialogues) and the merchants (Coffee Conversations).
Eleana went on to do other design work for the U-District Chamber including the current identity (logo), the first Community Guide maps, and subsequent StreetFairs.
Eleana is thrilled and honored to be working for the University District Community.
