As an advocate for community involvement Don has enjoyed participating and leading organizations in achieving their goals. While working with profit and not for profit organizations for over 45 years in several key initiatives he has developed a strong understanding of the rules and regulations that govern many boards and committees. As a leader of volunteer groups made up of individual personalities and objectives, he has successfully managed challenging goals and budgets and helped to raise close to 2 million dollars for not for profit associations. This experience, coupled with his business background, has provided Don with the ability to work within board guidelines helping to achieve the strategic goals and direction as set by the board. Don truly believes that understanding the dynamics and chemistry that exists on a board is vital in supporting a board successful outcome. With an extensive background in hospitality and customer service he has successfully, created, implemented and managed small and large teams with a focus on effectiveness, profitability (both financial and non-monetary goals; membership numbers etc.) and community impact. His careful eye for detail ensures accuracy and effectiveness in a timely manner and developing lasting, positive relationships with all those with whom he interacts. As a seasoned hospitality professional he has developed his career as both an entrepreneur and employee. His experience has included: sales manager, hotel management as an employee, consultant and owner/operator, Executive Chef, Restaurant Manager and Owner, human resources, and hospitality services.
