With over 30 years of experience as a local government manager across five Virginia jurisdictions, Doug Walker has had the privilege of working alongside dedicated public servants—both elected officials and appointed staff. Over the course of his career, he has led organizational performance efforts, aligning them with the vision of governing bodies and fostering strong, thriving communities. Today, he shares his expertise as a program instructor and team facilitator with the Virginia Institute of Government at UVA’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service and helps connect talented leaders with local governments through his executive recruitment work with The Berkley Group.
Having seen firsthand the vital role nonprofits play in delivering essential programs and services that strengthen communities, Doug is passionate about supporting organizations that foster collaboration between government and the nonprofit sector. He believes the most impactful partnerships go beyond funding—building intentional, dynamic connections that drive community well-being. Through his service on the CNE Board, he hopes to bring his local government experience to deepen these connections and advance CNE’s mission.
Thank you, Doug, for your outstanding support of CNE!
