Corvallis’ Most Impactful for 2020
December 19, 2020
Annually, our staff culls its collective memory of the year that’s been, and offers a shout out for Corvallisites that have had an outsized impact on our community and beyond. This year’s top 10 includes some names you’ll know, and a few that you won’t.
We also include a list of five shouts on a statewide basis.
No. 1 Charlie
Fautin
Born and raised in Wyoming, Charlie Fautin became a registered nurse then spent several years working in refugee camps in Asia and Africa before landing in the far reaches of Alaska as the public health director for an Alaskan Native health corporation. He came to Corvallis as deputy health director for Benton County in 2001.
