WTVP PBS Welcomes Audrey Kamm as New Chief Development Officer

Peoria, IL - WTVP is pleased to welcome Audrey Kamm as the new Chief Development Officer starting on Monday, November 10, 2025. As CDO, Audrey will lead WTVP’s fundraising and community engagement efforts.

Kamm brings many years' experience in nonprofit leadership across central Illinois to WTVP. Most recently, she served with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as an Advisor – Area Development for the Central/Southern Illinois and Iowa region. She has also held leadership roles at Midwest Food Bank and the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce launching initiatives that bring the community together and promote generosity.

“We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Kamm to the WTVP team during an historic time for our station and the entire PBS system,” notes Jenn Gordon, WTVP CEO. “With the exodus of federal support from the framework of public broadcasting nationwide, the generosity of this community is what singularly will fund the station and keep us running as an essential resource for central Illinois for years to come. Audrey's expertise in nonprofit fundraising and commitment to the community uniquely suit her for this role and align perfectly with our mission to inspire and connect the communities of central Illinois through commercial-free, quality content that educates, informs, and entertains.”

"I’m honored to begin my role at WTVP and contribute to the long-term vitality of this invaluable community resource,” says Kamm. “I care deeply about this region and I’m excited to work together with our community to ensure WTVP continues to serve and inspire for years to come.”

Audrey was recognized as one of Peoria’s 40 Leaders Under Forty in 2019 and received the Emerging Leader Award from the Women’s Fund of Central Illinois in 2022. She lives in Metamora with her husband Andrew and their two sons.
