About Whitney Hoshaw

I am passionate about mission-based organizations and impacting positive change in communities. At Willamalane, I get to work with an incredible team amplifying the impact we make for our community while providing exceptional parks and recreation. Day-to-day, I oversee district marketing and communications efforts, which means wrangling mascots, making reels, coordinating media coverage, communicating program updates and changes, crafting marketing campaigns, navigating crisis communication projects, not to mention endless “other duties.” After spending much of my childhood moving across continents, I’ve happily landed in the Eugene-Springfield area as the place I like to call home.
