Debra Daugherty is the director of
Development here at Vol State, working in the College
Foundation. She began her new position this spring. She comes most recently from the 15th Judicial District
Child Advocacy Center in Lebanon where she was executive director. She also has
extensive event coordination experience at companies including Sumner Regional
Health Systems.
“I’ve always enjoyed event planning. I’ve
been doing it forever, it seems like,” said Daugherty. “I have had a few
classes at Vol State. I was an adult learner. I had to go back to school as a
parent. I realize how important it is to have a great community college.
In her role as director of Development
at Vol State, Daugherty will organize college fundraisers and Foundation
events. She will also manage the College Alumni Association.
“We’re going to have an alumni
networking event soon, a chocolate and wine tasting,” she said. “The Alumni
Association is a great way for Vol State grads to stay in touch with each other
and build career connections.”
