We invite you to our March General Membership Luncheon. We will be hearing from Doug Crandall , President of Blue Rudder.

Doug Crandall, founder and President of Blue Rudder, is a graduate of West Point and the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He has led multiple units in the Army, and spent time as a Customer Service Operations Manager at Amazon.com. For five years, Doug taught leadership at West Point, where he won the Excellence in Teaching Award and exceeded the academy average in every area of teaching feedback during each semester he taught. Doug also transformed the academy’s core leadership curriculum (the first revision in nearly 20 years), and co-authored and edited the internationally-released book Leadership Lessons from West Point.

While at Amazon, Doug created and taught Amazon Leadership Foundations (ALF), a leadership development program for front-line leaders. In addition to teaching at West Point and Amazon, Doug has lectured for Stanford, Duke, The Wharton School, Columbia (a graduate-level course in leadership development), Cornell, JPMorgan Partners, GE, Citigroup, IBM, National City Bank, and Pittney Bowes.

Doug recently signed on as the Director of Leadership Programs and Corporate Education at Columbia Basin College. His first effort has been to establish a leadership fellows program for high potential managers in the Tri-cities, Washington.
