leadership at
Dugan Brown
Each interaction at Dugan Brown is rooted in our values, with those both inside and outside of the organization.
We empower our team…
…by providing them with the tools necessary to be able to improve the lives of each and every person with whom they interact. In fact, our staff is so thoroughly trained to succeed in their respective roles, that they would be capable of leaving the company and thriving elsewhere on their own.
We inspire our team…
…by emphasizing personal growth and accomplishment within the organization. Our employees do not stay because they feel that they must, rather, they understand that they are a valued part of a team that amplifies their own personal success.
In truth, every individual who is part of our team has stepped forward and shouldered the burden of leadership at one time or another. The individuals on this page are simply those who have made a full-time commitment to helping others reach their full potential.
