Camden Harlan

The League of Women Voters Whitewater Area honors Camden Harlan with the League’s 2024 Making Democracy Work award for her outstanding leadership as President of Whitewater Pride for the last five years, working to create civil discourse in our community. The Whitewater Pride Rally that she organizes is a seminal event that brings our community together to support LGBTQ+ values of peace, love, and understanding.

Camden has worked in the field of education for 22 years: first in Woodstock, IL for 18 years, and then Greenfield High School, and at Whitewater High School, where she served as the faculty advisor for the Whitewater Gay-Straight Alliance. She is now a member of the Academic Instructional Staff in the Department of Communication at UW-Whitewater.

In addition to volunteering her time as President of Whitewater Pride, Camden also serves as the Recording Secretary of the Whitewater Arts Alliance, a Board of Trustees member for the Irvin L. Young Memorial Library, and on the steering committee member for Be Kind Whitewater.
