In addition to the dinner and silent auction that anchor the event, the non-profit group will honor some Valley residents who have shown a commitment to Arizona’s education.
Wayne & Maureen Doran Honored as “Friends of Phoenix Union”
Paradise Valley residents, Wayne and Maureen Doran, will be honored for their commitment to providing higher education opportunities and assistance for the students of the Phoenix Union School District through their Doran Community Scholars program at Arizona State University. This program is a partnership between ASU and the Phoenix Union High School District, an area with the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged households in the Phoenix metropolitan area. It provides not only critical financial assistance for students to attend ASU, but also the tutoring and mentoring needed to ensure academic success. Additionally, the scholarship incorporates leadership skills and community service into its program.
Mr. Doran is a retired Ford Motor Company executive and graduate of Phoenix Union and ASU. He joined Ford Motor Company in 1969 and became Chief Executive of Ford Land when it was formed in 1970. Before joining Ford Motor Company, Mr. Doran served as Vice President and General Manager of the land development division of Del E. Webb Corporation, Chicago, from 1963 to 1969. He continues to serve as a director on the boards of the Arizona State University Foundation and the Arizona State University Research Park.
