Leaders Building Leaders
Doane’s mission is to build leaders, provide a premier education, and prepare students to thrive in their careers and change the world. This campaign leadership is helping build leaders.
Guidance, Direction, and Strategic Planning
A campaign of this size is no small goal and certainly not an enterprise of little responsibility. Ensuring the campaign goals are met, the funds are used appropriately, and strategic objectives are achieved requires considerable guidance and leadership.
The chairs and cabinet presiding over the Our Time to Lead comprehensive campaign have been selected specifically for their skill and experience in this area. These critical team members have collaborated to bring the campaign to life and will continue to work together to drive the campaign to completion and beyond.
