Lynn Hogan: interim vice president for development

Lynn K. Hogan, executive director of medical affairs development, has been appointed by UW President Richard L. McCormick to serve as interim vice president for development, effective Nov. 1.

She will remain in that position until a successor for Marilyn Batt Dunn is selected. Dunn recently accepted the position of deputy executive director for development for the United States Olympic Committee.

“Lynn Hogan is a seasoned and extraordinarily gifted development professional, with a great deal of experience in the various aspects of fund raising,” McCormick said. “I am grateful to her and to the School of Medicine for her willingness to take on this temporary assignment and provide the leadership, stability and continuity for our very important development program.”

Hogan received a bachelor’s degree from the UW in English (1969), and a master’s (1972) and doctorate (1980) from Syracuse University. Her development career began in 1980 when she served as director of community relations for the Seattle Children’s Home. In 1985, she became director of development and information services for the UW College of Engineering.

In 1988, she became director of corporation and foundation relations. Under her leadership, during the Campaign for Washington, that department exceeded by 20 percent its goals for raising funds from corporations and foundations.

From 1992 to 1996, Hogan was vice president for development at Whitman College in Walla Walla. She returned to the UW in 1996 as executive director of medical affairs development.

President McCormick is expected to appoint a committee shortly to conduct a national search for Dunn’s successor. ¶
