As White House Chief Usher, Reid was responsible for management of White House operations in collaboration with several organizations, including the White House Historical Association, the Committee for the Preservation of the White House, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, the White House Curator, and the National Park Service.
Reid was recognized at the 2012 Grio Awards.
