A 25-year PGE employee, Dunn is an area
lighting specialist and was nominated for this
award by Gail Fenton, lighting specialist at
PGE, Marshall Haskins, athletic director at
Jefferson High School and Katie Swartz and
Barbara Caplan of Oregon Mentors.
A lifelong North Portland resident and JHS
alumna, Dunn has been volunteering at her
alma mater for the past 12 years. She cur­
rently serves as a mentor to several Jefferson
students and has been a volunteer assistant
coach for the girls’ basketball program.
Haskins said he nominated Dunn because
of her unfailing commitment to students.
“Because of Jenean’s involvement, girls at
Jefferson are participating in extracurricular
activities, graduating from high school and
going tocollege,” Haskins said. “More impor­
tantly, they have the knowledge that some­
body is and will always be there to help
support their dreams and goals.”
“Volunteering shows unity and builds lead­
ership,” Dunn said. “My students come up
with new ideas and concepts every day,
which makes giving back so much more
rewarding for them. They inspire me.”
