"Doug Tieman's inspiring life story and decades of successful service in the non-profit sector provide all of us with valuable lessons and tools to make ourselves, and those around us, the best that we can be.

Despite his success Tieman was rocked back on his heels by addiction. Hours after presiding over a million-dollar fundraiser years ago, Doug was arrested for a DUI. After seeking help and getting treatment, he returned to the helm as CEO with a stronger, more profound connection to those afflicted by addiction. He remains in recovery.
