Brad Richardson (B.A. History, WSU Vancouver, 2012), Director of the Clark County Historical Museum, has been awarded the David Douglas Award by the Washington State Historical Society! This award honors the significant contribution of an individual or an organization through projects, exhibits, publications or educational products  which informs or expands our appreciation of Washington State history during the year. Nominators spoke to Richardson’s leadership and the museum’s continued community engagement throughout the pandemic: “When the museum was shuttered, the work was not. The staff worked tirelessly to ensure that exhibits were virtually available; educational efforts continued; and outreach to the community did not stop.”
