Doro Bush Koch

Leaders are first and foremost givers, sharing time, resources and vision as they inspire others to action. And Doro Bush Koch should know: for her family, "giving back" is more than an obligation — it's a part of their daily lives. Her family's tradition of volunteerism informed Bush Koch's own philanthropic endeavors. She established the Maryland Family Literacy Initiative, as well as other national and local charities. Long before her father became the 41st president, he instilled in Bush Koch the message that serving others is not limited to holding office or working with charitable causes. It is also about small, everyday gestures, the little things you do that make a difference to someone else. Through inspirational stories and moving anecdotes, Bush Koch illustrates how everyone has the ability to make an impact within their organization or community.
