ANNUAL DINNER
Daniel Whitney Award Daniel Whitney, an early settler who arrived in Green Bay in 1819, platted the town of Navarino, now known as Green Bay’s downtown. Later he built housing for his employees, the settlement’s first hotel and Christ Church. Sometimes called the “Father of Green Bay,” Whitney went on to found settlements throughout the state and was one of the state’s founding fathers as well. The Daniel Whitney Award has been celebrating exceptional volunteers of the Greater Green Bay Chamber since 1985 in his honor.
