"Financial management is a key to any organization, especially one as complex as the Diocese. Our challenge is to to be the best possible stewards of the resources God has given us over more than 235 years. Doug brings deep experience and financial expertise that will help us to use well the resources of our Diocese." Eric Rabe - The Standing Committee and Finance Committee Liaison.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Doug over the past two months and have found him to be a quick learner and extremely conscientious to the mission of the Diocese." Earl Irby, Controller
"I have known Doug since 2008 when he joined our team at Germantown Friends School, and we subsequently collaborated at The Edcamp Foundation. I hope that he has gone beyond embarrassment when I call him "the Swiss Army Knife" of any organization. Doug brings ability, willingness, good humor, and a desire to get to the best outcome, to any situation.
My most difficult conversation with him at GFS was when I had to ask him to pick Saturday OR Sunday as the sixth day of his working week, since I felt that if he was there I should be there, and I was lazier than him and unwilling to work 7/7."
James Pope, Treasurer
