PEP Founder Linda Jessup Recognized

In FY22, PEP Founder Linda Jessup received multiple recognitions for her work by the local community and by a community of her peers.

Linda was selected as a 2021 Washingtonian of the Year. Each year since 1971, Washingtonian Magazine has honored a group of people who, through their leadership, philanthropy, or creativity, have made our region a better place to live. Thanks to Linda’s visionary thinking, PEP has become the region’s premier parenting organization, serving over 65,000 parents and caregivers with children pre-K to college age.

NASAP, the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology, awarded Linda Jessup its Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her many significant contributions to the field of parenting, for sharing her extensive knowledge of Adlerian theory and practice through the Parent Encouragement Program, and for living a life that exemplifies courage and social interest.
