Former non-profit president joins staff at Drury University

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The former president of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks (CFO) is joining the staff at Drury University.

According to a release from the university, Brian Fogle has accepted an invitation to be an Executive in Residence.

In that position, Fogle will help connect Drury students with organizations to help develop their skills in non-profit leadership.

“Throughout my career whether serving on boards, or working directly for a non-profit, I have seen the incredible difference they make in our community, state, and nation,” Fogle said in a statement. “At Drury, we hope to match that passion and commitment of non-profits with world-class educational opportunities to help make them even more effective. The non-profit sector currently employs over 10% of our country’s workforce, and we look forward to providing resources to have employees even better prepared for that important work.”

Fogle spent 30 years in banking prior to joining the CFO in 2008. He’s also active in several civic and non-profit groups, including the Good Community Committee, the Missouri College Access Network and the Rural Schools Collaborative.
